Sonam in daddy's next flick
[quote]News is that, Anil Kapoor is keen on making a Bollywood version of Walt Disney Productions movie Freaky Friday. He has even bought the remake rights of the film. He will produce it under his banner and it will star his daughter Sonam Kapoor. The movie originally starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.
It is comic drama revolving around a mother and daughter whose personas get interchanged.
Reveals a source close to the actor,
"When he was in Los Angeles recently for the wrap-up party of his TV series 24, Anil met up with Disney officials to discuss the deal. It was his beti Sonam who suggested that he remake the film. Just the paperwork needs to be signed. The film will start this year-end, once all the negotiations are complete."[/quote]
Wonder who would be the mommy?
While Sonam will play the daughter's role, Anil is keen to have Kiron Kher play the mother's part. Source reveals,
"Kirron has turned down the role citing date problems but relations between the Khers and the Kapoors have been strained, and that could well be the reason for this snub. The other names that the actor is toying with are Rekha and Shabana Azmi. The film will be directed by Priyadarshan."
Anil was unavailable to comment.[/quote]
