Super excited to shoot for The Zoya Factor with Dulquer Salmaan: Sonam Kapoor
Dulquer Salmaan, whose Hindi debut, Karwaan, got released earlier this month, is getting ready to start shooting for his next Bollywood film. Titled as The Zoya Factor, the movie is based on Anuja Chauhan’s 2008 best seller novel of the same name. Dulquer and Sonam Kapoor play the lead roles in the movie. Abhishek Sharma, who has helmed movies like The Shaukeens and Tere Bin Laden, will be directing this movie.

Can’t wait to share more updates with you all! @dulQuer
In an earlier interview, Sonam revealed that she had watched a few of Dulquer’s movies and rates him quite high as an actor.
She is quoted saying, “Dulquer is really cute and such a good actor. I have seen his film Okay Kanmani and he was fabulous in that. I really liked him in that movie. I haven’t started prepping with Dulquer. It’s starting in August so I am looking forward to working with him. We will start in August or September.”
Zoya Factor, the novel is centred around Zoya Singh Solanki, a PR executive. Zoya was born on the exact moment when Indian cricket team had lifted the 1983 World Cup. Zoya is considered as a lucky charm by the Indian team and media. While everyone consider her lucky, team’s captain Nikhil Khoda and Zoya are always at loggerheads. The former doesn’t believe in luck and relies on performance. Zoya keeps clashing with the Indian skipper, and what follows is a love-hate relationship.
Sonam Kapoor will be playing the role of Zoya while Dulquer Salmaan essyas captain Nikhil Khoda’s role in the movie. Reportedly, Dulquer is taking up basic circket coaching prior to play his part. Fox Star Studios and Adlabs Films are jointly funding the movie which is scheduled as an April release, next year.
