Sonam Kapoor transforms into Sania Mirza

Sonam Kapoor is all set to play to play Sania Mirza in her upcoming romantic comedy movie Thank You.

Incidentally like Sania Mirza who got engaged to childhood sweetheart Sohrab Mirza and then broke off her engagement before zeroing on Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, Sonam also falls for a guy who is completely wrong for her.

Director Anees Bazmee says, “Sonam does pay a tennis champ, and Akshay Kumar plays a guy who’s seeing 30-35 girls at the same time, until he meets Sonam. Though he gives up flirting, he’s not particularly serious about Sonam too. It’s a funny take on courtship.”

Talking about Sania Mirza inspiration for the role, Anees says, “I wouldn’t like to take any names but any girl playing a tennis player would have similarities to the name you mentioned.”

Do you think Sonam Kapoor fits the bill to play Sania Mirza?
