Summary Sonam Kapoor took inspiration from Jaya Bachchan's popular character in hit movie 'Guddi'.
MUMBAI (Web Desk) - For her role of a schoolgirl in Raanjhanaa , Sonam Kapoor took inspiration from Jaya Bachchan s popular character in hit movie Guddi , which too revolved around a schoolgoing teenager.
"I had already seen Guddi but I saw it again before shooting for the film. I was inspired by Jaya Bachchanji in Guddi for the film," Sonam told reporters at the unveiling of director Anand L. Rai s Raanjhanaa music here.
Shooting for Raanjhaana was like actualising unfulfilled dreams for the 27-year-old who studied in a "very conservative school" in real life. "I was not allowed to wear short skirts, but with the film I enjoyed a lot. I wore short skirts, had fun with boys and did everything that I couldn t do in my school days," she added.
The film s lead actor Dhanush, who was also at the event, has dubbed himself for his debut Hindi movie.
He said: "I give credit to the director of the film, Anand. He prepared me to play the Banarasi guy. I have dubbed myself for the film. It s a wonderful feeling."
