Sonam Kapoor begins prep for her next The Zoya Factor

Actress Sonam Kapoor, who is currently shooting for Ek Ladki Ki Dekha Toh Aisa Laga with father Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has reportedly begun preparations for her next film, The Zoya Factor. The film is going to be the screen adaptation of the book of the same name written by well-known author Anuja Chauhan.

“Sonam wants to prepare for her role in the film well. It is a rom-com that touches upon superstition and luck. She is keen on understanding the story and her character in detail from Anuja Chauhan. Since Chauhan has penned the book, Sonam thought it best to meet her and discuss the book as part of her prep," a source reveals.


The actress is very excited about the project and is looking forward to meeting the author, “I have read the book and absolutely love it. Anuja Chauhan has lived with the character and the book for so long and knows it better than anyone else. I look forward to meeting her soon to discuss Zoya before we start shooting for the film.” Sonam was quoted as saying.

Besides Sonam Kapoor, The Zoya Factor also stars Southern superstar Dulquer Salmaan. To be directed by Abhishek Sharma, the movie goes on the floor in the next few months
