Sonam Kapoor's projects

Talking about the work front, Sonam Kapoor was last seen in The Zoya Factor, directed by Abhishek Sharma. The rom-com film also featured the popular South actor Dulquer Salmaan in the lead. The film adaptation of Anuja Chauhan's 2008 novel of the same name, was a debacle at the BO. Apart from this, Sonam's another 2019 release Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, starring Rajkummar Rao and Anil Kapoor, also failed to attract footfalls at the cash registers. Though in recent times the actor has not announced any of her upcoming projects, it is speculated that the sequel of her 2018's release, Veere Di Wedding, is on cards.
