Director Shashanka Ghosh, whose last release, Veere Di Wedding, turned out to be a Box Office hit, is thinking of his next film. The director, in an interview with a leading daily, shelved a few details about his next script which is basically a revival of something he wanted to make years back. And for that, he is planning on reuniting with her favourite actress, Sonam Kapoor.
Ghosh has worked with Sonam in Khoobsurat, before VDW and he thinks the actress fits his gangster drama, which is going to be the theme of the film. He elaborated on the same and said, "Eight years ago, I had wanted to meet Sonam for a gangster-drama with an Alice In Wonderland vibe which would be shot at Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad. It would have showcased her in a never-seen-before femme fatale avatar but the project was put on the backburner. I plan to revive it. I see Sonam as the perfect Alice"!

He is also sure that Sonam knows his directorial sensibilities pretty well. In fact, narrating an incident from the sets of VDW, Ghosh revealed that once when he was on the ninth take of a certain scene that featured Kareena, Sonam explained something to the actress, which helped him get the perfect scene in the next two takes. He claims that the newly married star knows exactly what he wants in a scene.
Further, talking about why is Sonam not appreciated much as an actor, he said, "She is an intelligent woman who understands screenplay well. So, I have to give her a role she can’t turn down. Sonam doesn’t get enough credit as an actor because she has an equally gigantic fashion image".
Do we then see another hit director-actor jodi in Shashanka Ghosh-Sonam Kapoor?
