Sonal Chauhan set for a modern day fairy tale

The actress has been signed on by veteran painter MF
Hussain’s son Owais Hussain for his directorial debut tentatively titled Punjab
69. The film — a fairy tale of sorts set in modern times — has Anurag Sinha of
Black and White fame playing Sonal’s love interest, revealed an insider. A
source said, “Sonal is very excited about this film. She found Owais very
creative and was looking forward to working with him ever since she read the
script.Although the film happens to be Sonal’s second in Bollywood, the actress
has been quite busy down South and she’s recently wrapped up a film opposite
Shivrajkumar.

The source adds, “Many thought that she’s on a
sabbatical, but she was only waiting for the right kind of script to come along.
And Owais’s script just bowled her over.But while on the professional front the
actress has been on a high, personally she’s undergoing a harrowing time, all
thanks to an over-zealous fan who’s been stalking her in Chandigarh, where she’s
just begun shooting for Hussain’s film.A unit hand revealed, “After the shoot,
several fans insisted on meeting Sonal and she obliged. However one fan kept
stalking her even after that and even made it to her hotel.

Sonal alerted the security guards who discovered
that the guy not only knew her exact room number, her schedule, her other
locations but even her flight number!” The production unit has decided not to
take it lightly and has shifted Sonal to another hotel and provided added
security.
