Director Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra has always given every actor a chance to raise their bar in his films. Same goes with Sonam Kapoor who is gearing up for the release of Neerja, a true story based on the heroic act of Neerja Bhanot, the braveheart flight attendant who saved 359 lives on the ill-fated Pan Am Flight 73, which was hijacked by terrorists.

The director who has directed Sonam Kapoor in his previous ventures like Delhi 6 and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag says that Sonam Kapoor might just find herself through Neerja. "It feels that with this film, Sonam will find herself and that's the expectation. It is said that every artist, every actor or every writer, director achieves something where they find themselves. This one feels the same way for Sonam," Mehra said as per a report in a leading English daily. 

Though Sonam made her debut with Saawariya, her golden opportunity surely came with the song  'Masakali' in Mehra's film, Delhi 6 .The director hopes that through Neerja, Sonam earns 10 times even more popularity than 'Masakali'. 

When asked about Atul Kasbekar, an ace photographer who has  ventured into production with the film. "A new producer has been born. He is very sincere, very hardworking and has excelled in whatever he has done. Best wishes to him," Mehra reportedly said.  He also spoke of yet another debutante in the film who is none other than the director Ram Madhvani himself. "It is the birth of a new director, and when a new director comes and joins the family, it feels good. He is a very promising director, I share an old friendship with him, he is well-known in advertising where he has done extremely well," he mentioned in the same interview.

Mehra was all praises for the concept of the film. "Not just the Indians are proud of her but she is an example for the whole world, Neerja's story is that way. When we were growing up and in college, this incident had happened and it was an inspiring and a huge matter," he further added.

Neerja also stars Shabana Azmi and Shekhar Ravjiani among others.
