I play a con-woman and get married to 3 guys in Dolly Ki Doli: Sonam

Sonam Kapoor's last release, Khoobsurat, opposite Pakistani charmer Fawad Khan resonated well with the audience. After playing a happy soul for the first time, the outspoken actress opens up about her aspirations and her upcoming releases in her latest interview with Indian Express. She also reveals what it is like to work with legendary and talented film-makers, how she feels about heroine-centric movies and why it is important to have an opinion & to voice it.

On heroine oriented films

"I don't like the term heroine oriented film. I think a film is a film, is a film. It just depends on who is doing the lead and if the film is good it will do well. Unless of course it's a Shah Rukh or a Salman or an Aamir Khan film where just the name draws the audience to the theatre. I don't think anybody in the industry has reached that status yet, except for Amitabh Bachchan, where you go and watch a film because of the actor. I think if it's not a good product people understand that and if it's a good film it doesn't matter who the lead is."

On the working atmosphere on the set of film-makers like Shashanka Ghosh and Sooraj Barjatya

"Honestly, there's not much difference. The professionalism and the general attitude of both Shashanka - who is known to be a very fun-loving person - and Soorajji - who has a more staid personality - is the same. They are pleasant people and give their actors a lot of love. There is no shouting or chilumchili on the sets. "

On the deciding factor in her career choices

"Sometimes I am instinctive and at other times, I ponder over a project before taking it up. For me, it's the script, the director and the people I am going to work with because it's going to be one year of my life! I will spend 12 to 15 hours every day with them, so I cannot grate on their nerves and vice-versa. We need to like and respect each other and I must say that Arbaaz Khan (producer of Dolly Ki Doli) is one of the best persons I have met in the industry. He is like a saint, so nice and kind. I keep telling everybody around me that he's one of the nicest persons I have met and it was such a pleasure working with him. I think it's important to work with people like that because it gets the best out of you."

On Dolly Ki Doli and her next home production Battle for Bittora

"We have 15 days of work still left. [Dolly ki Dolli] is a very interesting film in which I play a con-woman. I get married to three guys and I have a doli', which is my fake family. It's a fun ride and Abhishek ( debutant director Abhishek Dogra) is this young enthusiastic boy who has made a funny and very commercial film. We should start Battle for Bittora, next year as this year we don't have the time. Everything is finalised and we will soon announce the cast and the director."

On being vivacious, independent

"Not only me, I think a lot of young girls are like that these days. Modern young women are very unapologetic about who they are, what they do, what they wear, what they say and how they lead their lives. And Milli represents a modern day girl. So, yes, in that way Milli was similar to me."
