Rucha Pathak, Chief Creative Officer, Fox Star Studios shared,
“We are very excited to collaborate with Adlabs Films for Zoya Factor, a rom-com which is adapted from Anuja Chauhan’s best seller and we are sure the film would equally excite the audience. It’s a hat-trick for us at Fox Star Studios with Sonam Kapoor, in the past, we had blockbuster films like PRDP and National Award winning film Neerja, with Zoya Factor we are equally more excited to have South Superstar Dulquer Salmaan alongside Sonam and a fresh new pair in Bollywood.”
Pooja Shetty Deora, MD, Adlabs stated,
“The Zoya Factor is a book we have loved and lived with for a long time. Aarti and I have worked with Abhishek Sharma for many years and we are excited and confident about the output. We are blessed to have Sonam & Dulquer and Shankar Ehsaan and Loy as part of the core team. Rucha Pathak and her team are the perfect anchors for a film like this.”
While Abhishek Sharma, Director, said,
“Cricket woven into a rom-com and touching on superstition and luck, it’s an amazing book for a screen adaptation. The book has many layers, characters and tracks. Sonam is our Zoya Singh Solanki, an advertising agency executive. She was the first person that came to my mind as she’s as bubbly as Zoya and after seeing Neerja and Dulquer will play Nikhil Khoda, the captain of the Indian Cricket Team in the film. It’s always great to work with Adlabs Films.”
We are definitely excited for this Sonam-Dalquer Rom-com!
