Here’s what Sanjay Kapoor will be playing in Sonam Kapoor’s ‘The Zoya Factor’

After riding high on the success of her last film ‘Veere Di Wedding’, Sonam Kapoor is gearing up to kick-start the shoot of her next film which is titled ‘The Zoya Factor’. The film which is an adaption of the book by the same name written by Anuja Chauhan also features South superstar Dulquer Salmaan, who marked his entry in Bollywood with ‘Karwaan’.

Now besides Sonam and Dulquer, a report in Times Of India stated that Sonam’s chacha Sanjay Kapoor too has a part to play in this film which is being helmed by Abhishek Sharma. Sanjay will be portraying the role of Sonam’s father in ‘The Zoya Factor’. When the leading daily contacted Sanjay for the same, he confirmed the news saying,“I received a call from the producer when I was in New York. Later, director Abhishek Sharma called me up to give me a gist of the story and discuss my part. I was waiting for a good film to come my way and this just seems perfect.”

He added, “Besides’ Mubarakan’ (which featured his brother Anil Kapoor and nephew Arjun Kapoor), I haven’t worked with my family in any film. So, it’s an exciting opportunity for me to act alongside Sonam. We have started the reading sessions and I can’t wait to commence the shoot. We are a close-knit khandaan and Sonam has grown up in front of my eyes. She is like my daughter, and there’s nothing better than working with your own family.”

Bankrolled by Fox Star Studios, ‘The Zoya Factor’ will see Dulquer playing Indian skipper while Sonam will play an executive in an advertising agency.
