Sonam Kapoor who would soon be seen in Ram Madhvani's upcoming Neerja was loved in the trailer of the film that was released by the makers. The trailer had left a strong impact amongst audiences and it also garnered tremendous response from across.

According to sources, before beginning shooting for the film, the 'Neerja' Team met Neerja Bhanot's Mother and Brothers in Chandigarh. During the meet, when Rama met Sonam, she almost felt that her daughter has walked in.

Rama who was very aware of Neerja's choice had bought a bright yellow coloured dupatta to gift it to her daughter. However as the tragedy happened, Rama never got a chance to gift her the present. And it was this same yellow dupatta Neerja's mother gifted to the actress! Sonam was extremely honoured and was full of mixed emotions. It is said that the actress will be wearing the dupatta at one of the screenings of the film.

Directed by Ram Madhvani and Produced by Fox Star Studio's and Bling Unplugged 'Neerja' is a film based on the heroic story of Neerja Bhanot who sacrificed her life while saving passengers from terrorists on board the hijacked Pan Am Flight 73 on 5 September 1986. The film is all set to release on February 19th, 2016.
