may be just two films old, but she is choosy about her roles and has drafted strict guidelines for herself to sign movies. The young actress is, however, willing to make exceptions if the man opposite her happens to be Robert De Niro or Shahrukh Khan.
"Well, why would one actually ask questions if paired opposite Robert De Niro?" asks Sonam with a mischievous smile. "You should consider yourself plain fortunate to just share a common frame with him. In fact, I will be happy to even walk past a frame featuring him. No questions asked. Period."
Sonam teamed up with Ranbir Kapoor in her debut vehicle 'Saawariya' and she was seen with Abhishek Bachchan in her second film 'Dilli 6'. She is now looking forward to a movie with superstar Shahrukh.
"He is another man for whom I will be so very willing to ignore my rule book. I would be more than happy to go ahead and sign a film if Shahrukh happens to be my hero," says Sonam, a self-confessed Shahrukh fan.
"There are exceptions that one makes about the size and content of the role when it comes to working with legendary actors; De Niro and Shahrukh just fit the bill," she said.
However, when it comes to working on films with anyone lesser, Sonam certainly has her do's and don'ts in place.
"I don't intend to do films where all I am required to do is to dance in four songs and enact a couple of emotional scenes. By no means am I looking at that kind of cinema," she said.
Though the formal announcement of her next film is yet to take place, reports are that Sonam's next will be for her dad's production house. The film is called 'Ayesha' and is based on Jane Austen's novel 'Emma'.
According to industry sources, Sonam will be making a complete about turn from her 'Saawariya' and 'Delhi 6' image and take on a completely new ultra-chic avtar. The film will feature Abhay Deol along with newcomer Arunodoy Singh, who will soon make his debut with 'Sikandar'.
Sonam and Imran Khan are meanwhile reportedly being considered by Kunal Kohli for his next film that would be directed by his assistant Danish Aslam. However, confirmation is still awaited around this young love story.
