Smitten by Jane Austen novels, Sonam awaits her Mr Darcy

Macau:

Sonam Kapoor may have shot to fame playing the coy beauty Sakina in 'Sawaariya', but she is set to surprise audiences with her turn as a headstrong socialite in 'Ayesha', an adaptation of the young actress's favourite novel, Jane Austen's 'Emma'.

The film which is a contemporary take on the popular classic is set in Delhi and is being produced by her father Anil Kapoor with Abhay Deol playing the lead opposite Sonam.

"Emma is one of my favourite novels. I love the characters because even I want a Mr Knightley or a Mr Darcy in my life," said Sonam, who all set to make her maiden performance at the IIFA awards besides walking the ramp for designer Anamika Khanna for a charity event on Friday.

"The beautiful thing about Jane Austen's novel's is that all the heroes are the same while the heroines are different. Emma had a stereotyped romance but she was not a typical woman," Sonam told reporters in Macau.

LOL... ratz... i'm sure you'll find your's when the right time comes... 😃

i always read the novel before watching the movie version of it if it exists, but the hollywood version of Emma was so bad...i didnt like it AT ALL...altho gwyn was a pleasure to watch as always, but im really curious to know what kichadi theyre gonna make of it in bollywood, but if remade it seems to me that itll turn out like a typical bollywood movie, girl taking her friend for granted and eventually falling in love with them when she sees him with someone else....
