Sonam Kapoor to start shooting for ‘PadMan’ before ‘Veerey Di Wedding’

Sonam Kapoor is set to have a fruitful 2017, with films like Shashanka Ghosh directorial ‘Veerey Di Wedding’, R Balki’s ‘PadMan’ and Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanjay Dutt Biopic in her kitty.

The actress was said to start shooting for ‘Veerey Di Wedding’ a while ago alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania, but the film got delayed due to a number of reasons. (Also Read: Sonam Kapoor’s ‘Veerey Di Wedding’ vs Jimmy Sheirgill’s ‘Veerey Ki Wedding’, who to win?)

First her co-star Kareena’s pregnancy and baby Taimur came in the way of the movie being shot and then, because of the similarity in its title with Jimmy Sheirgill and debutante Diljott starrer ‘Veerey Ki Wedding’. Also, since ‘Veerey Ki Wedding’ team already has the trademark, the makers of Sonam’s film might have to change the name.

Amidst all these delays, Sonam will now start shooting of ‘PadMan’, the first schedule of which has already commenced.

Sonam will be joining Akshay Kumar in Indore to shoot for the movie, which is being produced by Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna’s production house, Mrs. Funnybones Movies.

The film also stars Radhika Apte as Akshay’s wife. It is based on Arunachalam Muruganantham, the inventor of low-cost sanitary pads for women in the rural areas.

Sonam will also be shooting for the Sanjay Dutt biopic soon.
