After Shaandaar, Shahid's sister Sanah Kapur to star in Abhishek Saxena's Saroj Ka Rishta

Despite turning out to be a box office debacle, Sanah Kapur impressed everyone with her beautiful performance in her debut outing Shaandaar. Now the young actress and Shahid Kapoor's sister will be next seen in director Abhishek Saxena's upcoming rom-com titled Saroj Ka Rishta. It deals with the culture of body-shaming in India and is set to go on floors from this month. Though Sanah will start shooting for the same in August. It will be shot in Mumbai and Ghaziabad and will revolve around the father-daughter relationship. Saroj Ka Rishta also stars Kumud Mishra, Gaurav Pandey and Randeep Rai in pivotal roles.

Talking about the film, director Abhishek Saxena told Mumbai Mirror, "As a fat person, I have noticed that body-shaming doesn’t happen only with those who are on the heavier side, but also with thin people. The idea germinated from there. The film essentially revolves around a father-daughter relationship with Kumud Mishra and Sanah at the centre. There is also a love triangle with the two heroes Gaurav Pandey and Randeep Rai."

Director Saxena also said that he was really impressed with her performance in Shaandaar and found Saroj in her. "She is like Saroj in real life too. Her character shares a fabulous relationship with her father who is worried about being separated from her when she gets married and insists that she find a man who can stay with them." Sanah Kapoor also expressed his excitement about the project and said, "I am looking forward to mould myself into someone who is from a completely different culture. It’s mysterious and offers great scope for exploration."
