Sonam Kapoor was asked for her views following the great response to her film ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.’ She said, “I feel great actually, I’m really proud to be a part of this film. I love working with Rakeysh Mehra, so to be a part of Milkha is amazing because it’s such an inspirational story, and the inspiration for Milkha is my character, so I think it’s beautiful being a part of the story.”
As for the reason why she did the film, Sonam said, “I did Bhaag Milkha Bhaag because it was an outstanding script. I wanted to work with Farhan Akhtar and I wanted to again work with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. My role is a pivotal role, and it was an honor to play the part.
As for her not charging for the film, she said, “They had a budget and they told me they can’t give money and that’s why I said give Rs 11 and I will do the film. I love Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. For me he is somebody who gave me a lot of confidence and helped me open up. I went through a bad patch after Saawariya. When I went on the sets of Delhi 6 he made me feel beautiful and made me feel talented. I was a young kid and wasn’t confident about who I am and he gave me the confidence and I will always be grateful for that. I did Bhaag Milkha Bhaag for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Even if he asked me to walk backwards in the frame I would do it.
Sonam said she was teary eyed at the promo because it showed the blood, sweat and toil of everyone who has worked on the film. “This is why I started crying. You guys have seen the trailer and you must have understood the kind of work we have done in the film.”
