Sonam Kapoor in Rakesh Mehra's next-article.

Mumbai: B-Town's long legged beauty, Sonam Kapoor who will be seen in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, has also worked with the director in Delhi 6 but did not get a big role in both the flicks as the movies focused on the lead, Farhan Akhtar and Abhishek Bachchan. But in his upcoming film, Sonam will get to play a bigger role.

The film will be based on the love story of 'Mirza Sahiban'. While talking to a leading daily, Rakeysh said, "We're working on the script, trying to polish it as much as we can. But yes, that's my next one."

He added, "Sonam, like everyone else got associated with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag because she believed in it. I mean, look at the man. We grew up reading about Milkha Singh. Stories about him are part of folklore. Sonam knew it was not a lengthy role. But she knew her role would have an impact."
