Neerja Bhanot was a 23-year-old senior flight attendant on the ill-fated Pan Am Flight 73, which was hijacked by four heavily armed terrorists after it landed at Karachi at 5 am from Mumbai on September 5, 1986. After 17 hours of being trapped, the hijackers opened fire and set off explosives. Bhanot opened the emergency door and helped a number of passengers escape but was shot while shielding three children from a hail of bullets.

This seems like a role that would play to Sonam's strengths: a chic, dignified woman who's in a line of work people tend not to take seriously but who has hidden depths and a spine of steel. Given that it's probably going to not be anymore nuanced about terrorism than the Bollywood norm, I'm curious to see which of the pseudo-intellectual film reviewers in India rip it as hard as they did Baby/Holiday and which ones are going to give it a pass on that issue due to the feminist brownie points involved.

Sonam looks very cute with the short hair.
I really hope this movie turns out good and does some justice to Neerja. She was a hero.

“I am being 5000 % honest while playing Neerja” says Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor is quite excited about playing Neerja Bhanot in her upcoming flick “Neerja”. Directed by Ram Madhvani, the film is a biopic on the life of the daredevil air hostess, who saved hundreds of lives for her bravery during the hijack of Pan Am Flight 73 on September 5, 1986. Sonam spoke via her Fan Club on Twitter and here’s what she feels about her character: "Ram's idea was to shoot Neerja like a documentary. So basically we never break characters, we have the longest takes, we shoot a take for six hours before breaking in characters. Neerja was in the plane for 16 hours and we shot that scene for 16 hours, so everything is real be It the sweat, the crease in the clothes, my bruises, the tears, wearing out of makeup and the action all are real." "I became so involved. I can be an airhostess now, I can serve you tea, I can do the announcement, I can do everything. I started believing I was this person. There is something about her I can really identify myself with, she was really strong and extremely principled and used to leap before thinking, that is how I am too." "I dont know what people will say but I am being 5000% honest where this role is concerned. I dont want to look back and say I didnt do Justice to this girl's memory. It will be shameful for me." Not only Sonam, but we too are pinning hopes on this biopic!

Sonam Kapoor to launch a book on Neerja Bhanot?
If things fall in place, then Bollywood fashionista Sonam Kapoor, who is currently busy shooting for Neerja Bhanot's biopic, will soon be launching a book on late flight attendant. The book on Neerja is being written by her brother Aneesh Bhanot and is titled ‘The Neerja I Knew’. When we asked Aneesh to tell us more about the book he said, “My book is on Neerja as a person and titled 'The Neerja I Knew'. It will have chapters written by her close school and college friends on the Neerja they knew including interesting incidents and experiences with her and photographs of those times (as many as we can find). It will also have chapters written by my brother and my mother and include an article written by my father in 1986 - 'A Father Reminisces'.” He added further, “I have also requested Atul Kasbekar to write one chapter on the Neerja he Knew (considering that he has never met her but he and his partner Shanti have done tremendous research on Neerja for the movie) and he has agree d to it.” Given that the film on Neerja, which is being produced by Bling Unplugged and presented by Fox Star Studios, is slated to release sometime in 2016, we probed Aneesh, when does he plan to launch the book and has he approached Sonam for the unveiling? “The book should be launched in about 5-6 months from now. And I am not sure about Sonam because she has a very hectic schedule and I would like to launch it in Chandigarh only.” Meanwhile, we tried getting in touch with Sonam Kapoor, who is currently in London, and are awaiting her response on same.
