The actress, who was apparently given the part after her father Anil showed his friend Stiller one of her show reels, is now trying to make space for the film in her busy schedule.
"While in LA, Anil met Ben Stiller to exchange ideas for a production company they want to launch together for a joint production. During one such talk, the actor told him about his home production Aisha starring his elder daughter," a source told Mid Day.
"Ben asked to see the film's show reel as he was casting for the role of Kate for his production house's $30 million (around £19.5 million) film. Titled 30 Minutes Or Less, it is directed by Reuben Fleischer and stars Jesse Eisenberg and Danny MacBride. After Stiller saw the show reel, he sent an e-mail to Anil saying he thought Sonam was 'fantastic' and that he wanted to cast her."
Anil's business manager Udayan confirmed the reports, saying: "Yes, Sonam has been offered 30 Minutes Or Less and we are working out the dates. It looks a bit difficult because of her tight schedule as she's shooting for Thank You with Akshay Kumar and Mausam with Shahid Kapoor and promoting her next release Aisha, but we are still trying to work it out."
Sophia Loren's son Edoardo Ponti has apparently also asked Kapoor if she would like to appear in his new film Das.
