Sobhita respects the director as her mentor, and Anurag has suggested her name for several big projects, including Paani.

Sobhita Dhulipala made her debut with director Anurag Kashyap’s off-beat movie, Raman Raghav 2.0, alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vicky Kaushal. The director has launched several careers, and Sobhita seems to be one of his many success stories.

Some time ago, we learned that director Shekhar Kapur has been considering Sobhita for his delayed project Paani as the female lead. A close source reveals, “It was rumoured that the actress had signed with Shekhar for his upcoming film, Paani, but nothing has been finalised yet. The two met a while back and are still in the process of working things out.”

The twist in the tale is that even after Raman Raghav 2.0, the actress continues to consult Anurag for film scripts, guidance and movie offers that come her way. That’s not all; Anurag has recommended her for big projects including Paani. He has even gone on record to praise her talent.

When contacted, Sobhita said, “I really feel fortunate to have made my debut with Anurag Sir in Raman Raghav 2.0. His conviction in me is very valuable. He has been a great help in considering new projects.”
