Sonam Kapoor, during her 'Koffee With Karan' appearance, confirmed that she had signed on with UTA (United Talent Agency) for her Hollywood projects. With Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra making it big in the West, it is a given that comparisons will be drawn between the three actresses.
When asked Sonam about the same, the actress said, "It was supposed to be a joke. Because I signed with UTA, people today keep on saying ‘Oh, she is going to Hollywood!"
Talking about the Hollywood projects that the actress looks forward to taking up, Sonam added, "I am looking for the same kind of roles that I am looking forward to when it comes to Bollywood. I want to do good roles even in Hollywood. There’s no difference. Wherever I get the best work, I will work there. Even if it’s in China. It doesn’t matter which industry it is."
However, Sonam does not believe in putting her Bollywood career to the backseat. The actress wants to focus on both, Hollywood as well Bollywood. Talking about the same, Sonam said, "I don’t think any career of mine will take a backseat if I continue doing good work. I want to use my time effectively and I am not crazy. It’s not like I am waking up every day to, ‘Oh, I want to become a Hollywood star’. That’s not how it works but as an actor, I want to expand my horizons. So, if my agent abroad has given me a role there and I get it a role here, which has more meat to it, then I will do the Bollywood film. And vice-versa. It’s the same thing. You are acting here as well as there. Just that you are doing a different language."
Taking about comparisions being drawn between Deepika, Priyanka and her, Sonam further went on to say, "
I think they are doing very good and I hope I can do as well as them. I don’t think I will ever reach their standard. I am okay with comparisons because I don’t think I’ll ever be as good as them. They are doing well, very well and I just hope I can do a fraction of what they are doing. I will be very happy with that much."
