Looking forward to bring 'Battle for Bittora' on screen, says Sonam Kapoor

Mumbai: Actress Sonam Kapoor is looking forward to bringing alive the world of author Anuja Chauhan's "Battle for Bittora" on the big screen.

The film will be produced by Rhea Kapoor and directed by Shashanka Ghosh.

At the 18th Jio MAMI Film Festival on Wednesday, the "Khoobsurat" actress was asked about her favourite author.

"I love Anuja Chauhan's work. She has written some fantastic books on young girls, contemporary books like 'The Zoya Factor' and 'Battle of Bittora'. Those are very cinematic books. I am looking forward to bringing '...Bittora' on screen," Sonam said.

The 30-year-old actress will reportedly play an animation expert who will find herself contesting elections in Bittora opposite an ex-royal.

As of now, she is looking forward to a chick flick titled "Veerey Di Wedding", also directed by Ghosh. The film also features Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead along with Swara Bhaskar and newcomer Shikha Talsania.
