This actress was the first choice for 'Neerja', not Sonam Kapoor

2016 gave a good start to Sonam kapoor. She gave such an awesome film Neerja, that it became her best film and memorable film of her career. After Raanjhanaa, she is appreciated for this movie. This film is based on like of brave Air Hostess Neerja Bhanot, who lost her live fighting with terrorist and saving the passengers, when her flight was hijacked. Well, according to one media report that Sonam kpoor was not the first choice, they suggested Alia Bhatt in lead role, but because of height, this film was taken away from her and then was given to Sonam kapoor. Yes, Sonam Kapoor is 5 inch taller to her and this was the reason why film got slipped from Alia hands. But producer faced no effects because of this , because Neerja not only impressed the audience ad critics but also did tremendous earning at the box office.
