Sonam Kapoor Reveals She Brought Fawad Khan From Pakistan as NO Bollywood Actor Was Ready to Star in 'Khoobsurat' Because of Its Title

Sonam Kapoor is known for her experimental choices of films. Right from Delhi 6 to Veere Di Wedding, the actress has tried the hands on various subjects. One of them was chic-flick, Khoobsurat that starred Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. Directed by Shashanka Ghosh and produced by Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Siddharth Roy Kapur, the film was loved by one and all. However, Sonam K Ahuja recently revealed that she found it difficult to search for a male protagonist for the film. Sonam Kapoor Channels Filmfare’s Black Lady Statuette for the Mag’s Latest Photo Shoot.

In an interaction with Filmfare, she said, "I can’t explain how difficult it was to make Aisha. Do you know how much effort it took to make Khoobsurat? No hero wanted to work with me because it was called Khoobsurat. I had to get Fawad Khan from Pakistan. And look at what happened. Fawad became a huge star. He had confidence."

Well, it is indeed appalling why the supposed Bollywood 'heroes' of our industry did not take a lead to be a part of this wonderful team. But as they say, destiny had some other plans! Our desi fans got the golden chance to watch the Pakistani heartthrob on the big screen, which we wonder if we would ever get this soon, had it not been for Sonam! He fit perfectly into the character of royally handsome 'Vikram Singh Rathore'.

Speaking of which, her next movie also has a protagonist, not from Bollywood but from the Malayalam film industry. She will be next seen in The Zoya Factor opposite Dulquer Salmaan. Her fans are extremely excited to watch this fresh pair on the screen.
