Sonam Kapoor follows 'Guddi' Jaya Bachchan

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 28 2013]

While several scenes in ‘Raanjhanaa’ required actress Sonam Kapoor to essay the character of a school girl, the actress admits to taking inspiration from Jaya Bachchan’s character in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s ‘Guddi’.

Confirmed Sonam Kapoor, I needed a reference point for my character...a naughty spunky school girl, I had already seen Guddi but I saw it again before shooting for the film. I was inspired by Jaya Bachchanji in Guddi for the film.

It was also a dream come true for Sonam to be shooting for these scenes especially since it was something she never did during her schooling days. Revealed Sonam, I studied at a very conservative school. I was not allowed to wear short skirts or be boisterous or have fun with the boys but through the course of this film I did everything that I couldn't do in my school days.

With music composed by A.R Rahman, Eros International’s ‘Raanjhanaa’ directed by Aanand L Rai, starring Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol is scheduled to release 21st June 2013.
