Sonam Kapoor, whose last film Neerja was widely appreciated, has not signed any new project after the movie’s release. And this, she says, is stressing her out. Asked if she has taken on anything new, Sonam told IANS: “No, I haven’t signed
anything and it’s stressing me out that I haven’t.”
In Neerja, Sonam played a real life character — a flight attendant who
displays bravado on
a hijacked plane to save the lives of passengers by risking her own. Sonam admits that the portrayal of women in films has become stronger over the years, but she still feels that in terms of remuneration, discrimination against actresses exists.
Talking about the pay disparity, she said: “It is slowly changing, but it’s a far way off despite the numbers that Neerja has done and despite
the numbers my
films have done.”
“I have been a part of female-centric films but we are still only opening to 700 screens.” “It’s not about what the industry is paying you… It’s about whether the audience wants to see the film or not. If my film is going
to open at Rs 6 crore,
is it okay for the producer to pay me that money or not,” she said.
