Rhea Kapoor to cast siblings Sonam & Harshvardhan for her next?

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 20^th September, 2019.
