Sonam Kapoor signs with Yash Raj Films for exciting comeback

The star becomes the first actor to sign with the agency that did not launch her

Bollywood sensation Sonam Kapoor has recently made headlines by signing with YRF Talent, reports Variety. YRF Talent is the prominent talent management division of the leading Indian studio Yash Raj Films. The actor, known for her impressive filmography, including acclaimed works such as Aisha (2010), Neerja (2016), and Veere Di Wedding (2018), has joined forces with the agency to further her career and artistic endeavours.

In 2020, Sonam took a break from her acting career to focus on starting a family. However, she is now preparing to make a grand comeback with two highly-anticipated projects, the details of which are being kept tightly under wraps for now.

Under the guidance of YRF Talent, Sonam will work closely with the agency to develop a distinctive brand identity that aligns with her unique persona. This includes making bold choices in her film selection and establishing strong associations with major global fashion and luxury brands. 
 
While YRF Talent will handle Sonam's career within India, she will continue to be represented by UTA (United Talent Agency) for international film and television projects.

Sonam burst onto the scene with her debut film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya in 2007, alongside superstar Ranbir Kapoor. She has since garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success for her performances. Additionally, she has become a recognisable face on the global stage as a regular ambassador for renowned brands and a fixture on the prestigious Cannes red carpet.

She comes from a prominent filmmaking family. Her father is the acclaimed actor Anil Kapoor, her brother is actor and producer Harshvardhan Kapoor, and she is the granddaughter of the late producer Surinder Kapoor, as well as the niece of producer Boney Kapoor. The Kapoor family's contributions to the Indian film industry have been significant, further adding to Sonam's legacy and pedigree.

YRF Talent has a storied history of managing some of the biggest names in Bollywood, including Rani Mukerji, Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Bhumi Pednekar. Sonam's signing with the talent agency is noteworthy as she becomes the first actor that YRF hasn't launched into the industry.

Sonam's partnership with YRF Talent marks an exciting chapter in her career as she prepares to make her comeback in the industry. Fans and industry insiders alike eagerly anticipate the unveiling of her upcoming projects and the creative direction she will take under the guidance of the esteemed talent management agency.
