Sonam Kapoor<\/strong> feels there is a need for more films that revolve around women.<\/p>\n Her forthcoming film \u201cVeere Di Wedding,\u201d also starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania, is themed around a wedding. Kareena will play the part of a bride-to-be in the movie.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2019Veere Di Wedding\u2019 looks so different. There should be more such films, this should be the norm,\u201d Sonam told PTI.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Hollywood, there are many female-oriented films that are such big blockbusters and are entertaining. We don\u2019t have such films in India.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor believes Hindi film industry is 20 years behind when it comes to making female-led commercial stories.<\/p>\n \u201cJulia Roberts was huge in the \u201880s and \u201890s. Here it was about my dad (Anil Kapoor) and the other actors. The \u201890s were about the Khans (Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman). With our generation, we are at least getting the opportunity to do that, but we are 20 years behind,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Sonam, 32, said working alongside a top female actor like Kareena, who also happens to be her good friend, for the first time in a movie was exciting.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is easy to communicate especially when it is a chemistry-driven film with four women. Since we are friends, it was a fun experience working with her.\u201d<\/p>\n Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the film is set for release in the middle of May, this year.<\/p>\n The \u201cNeerja\u201d actor also reunites with \u201cSaawariya\u201d co-star Ranbir Kapoor for Sanjay Dutt biopic.<\/p>\n Sonam said the actor has not changed much over the years.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think I have changed either. He is such a fine actor. We just have 10 years of experience. But it was fabulous working with him. We shot in ND studios for \u2018Saawariya\u2019 and for this film we shot at the same place. So it was deja vu<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, the biopic on Dutt is scheduled for release in March, this\u00a0year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" File photo of Sonam Kapoor, (r), with her sister and filmmaker Rhea Kapoor during the launch of Rheson, their first-ever fashion brand, in Mumbai, May 2017.
