Sonam, Abhay Deol and four other actors from the film are attending a month-long workshop where they are also getting to know each other, which will help them perform better."
Working it
Actress Jayati Bhatia, who had acted in the Vagina Monologues, is helping Sonam, Abhay and the artists to develop their characters for the film in the workshop. Sonam attends the workshop for almost five hours a day."
The source further informs that the actress is working on her accent and tone for the part.
After Saawariya and Delhi 6 that largely required her to romp largely in an ethnic wear, in Ayesha Sonam will transform into her offscreen fashionista avatar.
Sonam says, "Yes, I am doing a workshop for Ayesha along with Abhay but it's too early divulge any details about it." The film rolls in August. Directed by Rajshri Ojha, it is a modern-day Indian adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Emma.
