No movies with my dad, please: Sonam Kapoor

Mumbai, April 8 (IANS) Those who want to see Sonam Kapoor and her dad Anil Kapoor together on screen will have to wait for a long time. The 'Delhi 6' girl thinks Kapoor senior looks far younger than his age to play a conventional father in a Bollywood flick.

The buzz around tinsel town is that there's a pivotal role in Anil's home production - of Sonam's father - that he was supposed to play.

But Anil is not doing the film titled 'Ayesha'.

'Do you really think he looks like my Dad? No! He doesn't. He looks far younger than his age. And that's why I wouldn't want him to play my father. The role in 'Ayesha' that you're mentioning didn't suit him. My dad can't play the conventional father,' Sonam, who has acted in 'Saawariya' and 'Delhi 6', told IANS.

Earlier, Anil had been offered a role in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's 'Delhi 6' with Sonam, but both father and daughter decided against it. In fact, Sonam was more against the idea of their coming together than Anil.

'And that's how it remains even now. I really feel we wouldn't look like father and daughter on screen. We'd rather wait for a while until I'm older because my father isn't going to oblige (by looking older),' said the 23-year-old actress.

When pointed out that some of Anil's leading ladies are about Sonam's age, she said: 'That's right and my father looks very well-matched with all his co-stars. He's quite something. And now after 'Slumdog Millionaire' he has entered another innings in his career. His career keeps getting re-invented. I'm afraid he has set impossible standards for me.'
