The father-daughter duo of Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor may have failed to live up to the huge expectations of the audience in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019), but the news is coming in that now Sonam Kapoor is set to share the screen space with her younger brother Harshvardhan Kapoor.
Yes, you heard that absolutely right! According to reports, producer Rhea Kapoor is planning to bankroll a film which will star her siblings Sonam Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor in principal roles.
After the massive success of Veere Di Wedding (2018), Rhea Kapoor is set to produce a film adaptation of well-known author Anuja Chauhan’s bestselling book Battle for Bittora. While Sonam Kapoor will play the female lead in the silver screen adaptation of the book, Harshvardhan Kapoor will be seen playing another important part in it.
For the unversed, Battle for Bittora is based on a copywriter who then ventures into politics. The project was first planned around the year 2016. Pakistani actor Fawad Khan was set to play the male lead in it. However, the project was put on hold when the Indian film industry imposed a blanket ban on Pakistani artistes working in India and Fawad had to go back to Pakistan. The makers are now set to revive the project, with Shashanka Ghosh taking the directorial responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor is currently gearing up for the release of her next film The Zoya Factor. Interestingly, this film is also based on Anuja Chauhan’s yet another bestseller by the same name. Sonam romances southern superstar Dulquer Salmaan in the movie. The Zoya Factor is scheduled to hit the marquee on 20th September, 2019.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
