Anil KApoor expresses his desire to direct Sonam Kapoor some day
The audience finally got to see father- daughter duo Sonam and Anil Kapoor together on the big screen with Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. Like you know, Sonam plays the role of a lesbian in the movie and proud daddy Anil Kapoor has said how he is glad to see her making such brave choices. "She is making such brave choices. Neerja was a film that broke many myths. It gave Sonam a chance to prove herself as an actor. I am thankful to (director) Ram Madhvani for believing in Sonam.

"Now I feel Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga gives Sonam another opportunity to prove what she's worth. Her performance is not over pitched. She is never over dramatic because she relates with real people and situations through her first hand experiences. She's widely read and travelled. She connects to her character in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and expresses the character's emotions with such natural grace," Anil said with pride in his voice.
He also mentioned how it is important and necessary for actors to step out of their comfort zone and make brave choices. "Whether it is mainstream actors or filmmakers, they've always done the unexpected. Raj Kapoor Saab's Mera Naam Joker and Guru Dutt's Kagaz Ke Phool didn't work at the box office on release. In retrospect they are regarded as master works. One has to make risky choices in life. I am so glad Sonam is doing it so early in her career," he added.

In an interview with IANS, Anil also expressed his desire to direct Sonam in the future. "If I ever direct a film it will only be so that I get to direct my daughter. Yes, my film as a director would have Sonam and no other actor, as the protagonist." Well, we cannot wait for it to happen!
