Bollywood actor-producer Anil Kapoor is always looking out for the best for her daughter Sonam Kapoor.  He has roped in award-winning writer Manu Rishi to pen dialogues for Sonam’s next film Ayesha.Based on Jane Austen’s “Emma”, “Ayesha” is a romantic comedy about an ultra modern girl who is wooed by three men. While Sonam is playing the female lead, Abhay Deol, one-film-old Arunoday Singh and popular VJ Cyrus Sahukar will woo her in the movie, which is being produced by Sonam’s sister Rhea under their father’s banner.

“Anil Kapoor met me and said that he had seen Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!. He also told me, ‘You’re very good’. Then he started talking about Ayesha and told me that Sonam Kapoor will be starring in it and that it’s his home production. He said that he really liked my work and wanted my inputs for Ayesha. That’s how the film happened,” said Rishi.

Rishi started his journey with Delhi theatre and then shifted to Mumbai in search of work. But with a dearth of options, he ended up assisting actor-director Rajat Kapoor and kept waiting for good roles to come his way. It was then that he started writing songs for TV shows and also took up work as a third dialogue writer to kill time. His patience paid off when he was introduced to Dibaker Banerjee who helmed “Oye Lucky…” and since then Rishi has not looked back.

He has done cameos in films such as Mithya, Ek Chalis Ki Last Local, Mixed Doubles.

Coming from a humble background in Delhi and having flown to Macau to receive his IIFA award this year, he quipped: “I’m a real Chandni Chowk To China, you see!”
