Several scenes in Raanjhanaa required Sonam Kapoor to play a cheeky school girl and apparently she took her inspiration from Jaya Bachchan’s character in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Guddi for the part!
Sonam Kapoor, “I needed a reference point for my character… a naughty spunky school girl, I had already seen Guddi but I saw it again before shooting for the film. I was inspired by Jaya Bachchanji in Guddi for the film”.
Sonam had a blast shooting these scenes btw, since in real life she studied in a very conservative school she never got to wear short skirts, be boisterous or have fun with the boys. So it must have been fun to get to do it now!
With music composed by A.R Rahman, Eros International’s Raanjhanaa directed by Aanand L Rai, starring Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol is scheduled to release 21st June 2013.
