Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor who is all set to share screen space for the first time with her actor father Anil Kapoor in 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga' opened up about working with his father on-screen. During a promotional event, the actress reportedly said that she has been approached by many filmmakers in the past to work with her father Anil in a film but she turned all of them down. However, she revealed that she agreed to work with her father in this particular film as she found it the appropriate for collaboration.

"I was very skeptical to do a film with my father. We have been approached for films several times. I said yes to Shelly Chopra (director) as I loved the story and I felt this is the film that dad and I should do together. I was enthusiastic about the film. I trusted the director, she was clear about the film," PTI quoted the actress as saying.

Explaing to why she never agreed to share screen space with her father, the actress said that she never found authenticity or idealism in any of the other films.

Talking about the same, she said, "I never found authenticity or idealism in any of the other films. I felt nobody besides me and my father (were apt) to do 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'. We are glad to know that we were the first choice of the director." 

As per media reports, the upcoming film 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga' is a romantic drama that narrates the story of a Hindu woman who falls in love with a Muslim man, but their lives fall apart when she discovers her father's infidelity with a woman who aspires to be an actress. Reportedly, the film revolves around Anil Kapoor's new love interest and it also touches upon homosexuality. 

Without divulging details about the plot of the film, Sonam said, "It is a love story, it is a story of a bond between a parent and child. In India, we go through a situation where we have to explain to our parents for our partners. 

"Like, when I told my father, this is the guy (Anand Ahuja) I want to marry and it is there in our society and culture that we want validation of our parents and their support. Their acceptance and support is important."

The film will be directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar and jointly produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani in association with Fox Star Studios. It is all set to hit the theaters on February 1, 2019.
