Sonam shares her Neerja look

Actress Sonam Kapoor has shared the first look of her upcoming film ‘Neerja’, a biopic on Neerja Bhanot – the daredevil flight attendant of Pan Am. Sonam plays the role of Bhanot, who lost her life trying to save the lives of passengers from terrorists on board the hijacked Pan Am Flight 73 on September 5, 1986.

Calling the film “most special”, the actress shared a photograph of her first look on Twitter. Sporting a uniform and red lips with shoulder-length straight hair neatly pinned up, Sonam is seen smiling in the photograph, which she captioned, “Hello everyone! This is me as Neerja! in our tribute to Neerja Bhanot. This is my most special film...thank you @foxstarhindi @blinglive. (sic)”
