Sonam Kapoor, long celebrated for her style and impactful roles, is all set to make her cinematic comeback later this year. Over the past few years, Sonam chose to step back from films to focus on her personal life, especially after welcoming her son, Vayu.

For Sonam, these years were about cherishing moments with her son and embracing the joys of family life.

A Purposeful Return to the Silver Screen

Now, the actress is ready to return to acting, but with a sharper focus on projects that resonate with her. Sonam shared, “I will be back to doing what I love, acting. I’m drawn to disruptive subjects that allow me to shine. I want to pick stories where the woman is at the heart of the narrative and has a layered, meaningful role.” Known for blending mainstream films with critically acclaimed performances, Sonam’s vision for her comeback emphasizes strong female characters and stories that go beyond conventional portrayals. Fans can expect her to choose roles that challenge the norms and highlight her versatility as an actor.

Her last major release, Blind (2023), a crime thriller and remake of a Korean hit, marked her first film in six years. Now, Sonam is gearing up for her next big project, Battle for Bittora, an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s bestselling novel. Alongside this, she has another unnamed project lined up for the last quarter of 2025, which will be her first post-pregnancy shoot.
