Sonam Kapoor seems to be a tank of capability in an industry fraught with fragile psyches. Here she talks about Shahid Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Mausam and Mission Impossible:
Romance travels from one place to the other
I don't know if a new name for romance is 'Mausam' but it is surely synonymous. The scale of 'Mausam' is large. The romance travels from one place to the other and it surely is epic in its proportions. 'Mausam' is a period film but it's the recent period. We are showing the 1980s and the 1990s and the year 2000. The movie isn't contemporary. But it surely spans across two to three decades.
'Mausam' too has a distinctive look I've never tried to be the best dressed on the sets (laughs). Yes, I am a fashion junkie. 'Aisha' made such an impact on people that they now think of me as an actress who will do movies with only designer clothes on. If you track back, I started in Saawariya with simple black Indian dresses. In 'Delhi 6' too, I had very simple clothes like salwaar kameez. 'I Hate LUV Storys' too had me in a girl next door look. 'Mausam' too has a distinctive look and a mix of traditional and western outfits. Anamika Khanna has designed all my outfits for 'Mausam'. My favourite is the red gown I wear in the movie.
Shahid's role of lifetime
I liked Shahid's first movie 'Ishq Vishq'. I loved him in 'Kaminey' and 'Jab We Met'. He is a very good actor and needs some really good movies to prove his mantle. 'Mausam' will bring just that because his father and my director Pankaj Kapoor has given him a role of a lifetime. He is going to garner a lot of acclaim for sure.
