Sonam Kapoor is all set to share screen space with her dad, Anil Kapoor in 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga', the film being directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar and produced by her brother, Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The shooting of the same has already kick-started in Punjab and also stars Juhi Chawla and Rajkummar Rao. Now, as per reports by a leading daily, Dhar is also recreating the memorable song from her brother’s film '1942: A Love Story' that is now her film’s title too.
"Yes, we are recreating the original and we want to replicate its iconic status. It’s hard to beat the original so I will be happy if we are at par with it. However, we’ll have to wait and see who sings the new version and for whom in the film,” Dhar said. Talking about Juhi and Anil, she said, "It was lovely to see two friends come together after a long time. They are in such great shape. On set, they refuse to call each other by their real names, resorting to their characters instead." "On their first day together, I gave the clap and called it a historical shot as it was the first time we had two big stars who are also father and daughter. Anil is a typical dad who asks us to take Sonam’s shots first; I find it endearing. We have been shooting at night and it gets nippy at times, so Sonam is constantly checking up on her father," Dhar added.
