Rhea Kapoor's second 'Herogiri' also based on book

After adapting Jane Austen's novel Emma to make her debut film Aisha in 2010, producer Rhea Kapoor is all set for her next venture, which is again based on a book.

While Aisha was an adaptation of Emma, starring sister Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol in the lead roles, her second film is also an adaptation of Herogiri, a book written by an Indian author Mainik Dhar.

"I wanted the concept of my next film to be really exciting. Herogiri is a story I'm extremely passionate about because it's interesting and very different," Rhea said in a statement here.

The 25-year-old producer has bought the rights of the book, would turn it into a full-fledged screenplay and will announce the cast soon.

The book Herogiri revolves around an ordinary man, possessing extraordinary powers.

"The title caught my attention. Besides, the idea is relevant to today's times. Although it's a thriller, the film is fresh and young. We will start talking to actors soon and all decisions, including the one to cast Sonam, will be taken collectively," she said.
