Talking about her character in The Zoya Factor, Sonam Kapoor recently said, "A lot of girls tend to be like, 'Listen, if I am such a mess, how am I ever going to succeed in life?' But I want to say, it's okay to be a mess. I think that's what I said through Mili in 'Khoobsurat' and that's what I liked about Zoya as well. I like to play girls who are regular and normal, who have regular problems because all of us have them."

There were reports that Dulquer Salmaan might be playing cricket star Virat Kohli in the Soman Kapoor-starrer. When asked about it, Salmaan said: "The book was written a long time back. I don't think it is based on anyone in particular. It is fiction." Directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film also stars Angad Bedi, Sanjay Kapoor and Sikander Kher in key roles.
