Sonam commences Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga shoot

Fashionista Sonam Kapoor has started shooting for her next film titled Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. To be directed by debutante Shelly Chopra, the movie went on floors last week.

Sonam is really excited about the film as it gives her an opportunity to share the screen space with her father Anil Kapoor for the first time. Anil started shooting for the movie a couple of days back, while Sonam joined the team today.


The title of the film is taken from Anil Kapoor’s popular song from the 1994 film 1942: A Love Story which was directed by Shelly's brother Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

The actress took to Twitter to announce that she has joined the cast in Punjab. She shared a picture of the clap from its sets.

On Instagram, she wrote, "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha! My first shot with my father after 10 years in this industry! Thank you @shellychopradhar for writing something compelling enough for me to take the plunge and thank you #vidhuvinodchopra for making it happen!"

Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga also stars Juhi Chawla and Rajkummar Rao in important roles.

The film is expected to hit screens later this year on October 12.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
