Sonam Kapoor, who has had a great year with Neerja being one of the biggest hits of 2016 so far, plans to stay away from work till July. The actress, we hear, has left for London and from there she will be heading to Cannes.
Sonam says, “Yes, I am going to chill till about July-August. It’s not a conscious break that I am taking from work, but I am just not finding anything inspiring enough. The only film I have signed is Rhea’s film but that is yet to be announced and the dates need to be worked out. In any case, I don’t play the lead in it but what’s important is that it’s a fun film. As far as roles are concerned, I am open to all sorts — action, drama, comedy — basically good content, that’s all.”
Sonam, who is quite a regular at Cannes, shares some trivia about the film festival. “The red carpet is not as long as everybody thinks it is. It’s really wide and short and actually, it’s difficult to climb up the stairs that lead to the theatre. But there are bodyguards to help you. It’s only ten minutes from The Martinez to the red carpet but it takes you 50 minutes because of the traffic and sitting in the car for that long, wearing a gown, is exhausting.” But of course, she never lets the fatigue show, once the cameras come on.
