Can Indian actress Sonam bag ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’?

MUMBAI: And after gracing several international fashion events and endorsing luxury brands, Sonam Kapoor seems to be getting her first real taste of Hollywood. Times of India reported that the actress recently auditioned for a dream role. The 24-year-old is apparently in the reckoning for the fifth installment of the hugely successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, top lined by Johnny Depp. The makers of the franchise reportedly contacted a celebrity management company, who reached out to Anil Kapoor, who in turn primed his daughter for the big test.
The audition was held last week in a studio in Andheri. A source close to the development said, “Sonam breezed through the auditions. The outcome is awaited.” Sources confirmed to the Indian daily that Sonam even had a long video conference with representatives from the makers, Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer. The casting agents of the film in question were also present during her acid test.






The fifth installment of the series is slated to go on floors in 2015. While it is too early to speculate on Sonam’s possible role in the film, it would be interesting to see of she gets to work with one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
