Sooraj Barjatya is famous for his sentimental, good-natured romance/family dramas, notably Maine Pyar Kiya, which made a star out of Salman Khan; Vivaah, which helped make a star out of Shahid Kapoor; and the super-hit Hum Aapke Hain Koun, starring Salman and Madhuri. This time, he is reteaming with Salman, and Sonam has just confirmed that she's the female lead: www.pinkvilla.com/entertainmenttags/sonam-kapoor/yes-i-am-doing-sooraj-barjatya-s-film-sonam-kapoorAside from Madhuri, who's generally considered to have given a strong performance in HAHK, Barjatya heroines have a reputation for being beautiful, idealized figures without a lot of character development, so Sonam is pretty viable from that POV. There is supposedly a kid brother role (and probably a heroine to go along with it), but there are conflicting accounts of how they plan to handle it-supposedly several of the new stars (like Ranbir and Ranveer) have turned it down, and the two most recent rumors I had heard were a). Neil Nitin Mukesh was getting the kid brother role, or b). Salman was taking it on himself as part of a dual role.

Now titled "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", a line from a Hindu religious hymn meaning something like "I have received the treasure of love". Prem was a frequent character name for Salman's characters at one time, especially in the Barjatya movies.

Rumor has it that Deepika rejected this film because of its weak script. That makes me a bit nervous for Sonam. She just gained some credibility as an actress, with Raanjhanaa. I'd hate for her to return to arm candy roles that offer little scope for performance. IMO, she's at her best when she's given complex - and often duplicitous - characters like her roles in Delhi-6 and the aforementioned Raanjhanaa. Even with this aside, the rest of her upcoming films (Khoobsurat, Dolly Ki Doli) seem to have her playing these very bubbly and vivacious characters that she's struggled to pull off in the past.

I suspect this is going to be more "ethereal woman on a pedestal" ala Saawariya than "hero's girlfriend in a short dress", but yeah, I would be surprised if it turned out to be a). Deepika's kind of role or b). anything particularly deep.
I could imagine Sonam as Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief-the spoiled but clever little rich girl who's trying to stir up trouble. If she has an urgent need to play opposite the middle-aged guys, that's the kind of thing I'd like to see her doing.

I'd bet her role in this film will be along the lines of Saawariya or Mausam than Players. Either way, though, I don't think she'll be given much scope to perform. And, as I mentioned, her other upcoming films don't seem to be very performance-oriented either.

Sonam about her rôle :
“I am working on one of the biggest films of the year, that is Prem Ratan Dhan Payo directed by Sooraj Barjatya. It is one of the biggest films made, and so it has been anonymous pressure that I have to do best in this film. I will be playing the role of Princess in the film who is engaged to a guy. Just like all Barjatya films, I have an incredible role, with incredible music and rest everything is amazing in the film. I am very excited.”

I'm loving the more retro, if that is the word, sets and costumes for this project.

I'm loving the more retro, if that is the word, sets and costumes for this project. I'm also getting more and more excited by the movie. I'm sure Sonam will look good as she got to wear designer clothes (Anamika Khanna) and fine jewelry (Amrapali and creations made by her mother, Sunita Kapoor). Also, Salman keeps on sayng this movie is really different from what he usually do... there will be more romance as it marks his come back as Prem. I'm hoping Sonam will have a good amount of screentime seeing as Barjatya usually gives importance to his heroines.
