The Khoobsurat lead pair have been signed to play the protagonists in the movie adaptation of the bestseller. Here is all you need to know about the book…
During the time of promotions of her film Bewakoofian, Sonam Kapoor had said in an interview that she found the love-story in Battle for Bittora quite interesting which is why her sister Rhea Kapoor bought its rights and is now producing it.
Before Fawad Khan was cast for the film, grapevine was rife with rumours about Imran Khan, Sidharth Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapur being offered the male lead.
The film will have Sonam and Fawad play aspiring politicians who are in love with each other but still contest for elections opposite each other. Fawad will yet again play royalty in this film.
More about the book: Battle for Bittora starts with a 25 year old girl named Jinni (to be played by Sonam) who lives in Mumbai and works in a hip animation studio. She is happy with her carefree and independent existence until her bossy grandmother announces that it is Jinni’s ‘duty’ to drop everything and come and contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from their hometown, Bittora. Against her wishes, Jinni ends up as the electoral candidate Sarojini Pande, daughter of the illustrious Pande dynasty of Pavit Pradesh. Her main opposition turns out to be Bittora’s ex-royal, Zain Altaf Khan (to be played by Fawad) – an irritatingly idealistic though undeniably attractive man with whom Jinni shares a complicated history
The book is filled with wicked humour and is a fun take on romance and politics.
We are super-excited to see Sonam and Fawad together again for this film! What about you ?
