Sonam Kapoor considers herself lucky even though her debut vehicle Saawariya slumped at the box office.
And the reason for that is that the daughter of Anil Kapoor has bagged Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra 's Delhi 6 as her next film.
"I'm second time lucky. If I had to choose one filmmaker after Sanjay Leela Bhansali , I'd have chosen Rakeysh Mehra. I haven't seen his Aks , but I fell in love with Rang De Basanti . I went beyond conventional definitions of the heroine in 'Saawariya'. I hope to do the same in 'Delhi 6'. It's a great follow up," Sonam told a news agency in an interview.
Asked about other offers, Sonam said: "They're all coming to my father. He's so proud of me. He keeps saying he never knew I could be such a capable actor and handle the media with dignity and grace."
While her father is scanning all the offers, Sonam is concentrating on "Delhi 6" that reportedly stars Abhishek Bachchan in the male lead.
"How can I think of anything else right now? I need to focus on my second film. I'm going into a different mood and style here."
Sonam said that she couldn't have chosen a better second film. The minute she met Rakeysh Mehra she was completely floored.
