Jannat was a hit and its leading lady Sonal Chauhan has lots of reasons to feel happy about the manner in which her career is shaping up. Following the release of her debut film, the actress hit the limelight for all the wrong reasons when her ex boyfriend assaulted her. But now the actress can face the limelight for the right reasons.

Sonal has bagged a role which was originally meant for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Director Jagmohan Mundhra, who had directed Ash in Provoked, which was about a battered wife, was very keen to do another film with Ash. This too was supposed to be a heroine centric role. Bur for whatever reason, Ash was not too kicked about the idea and rejected the offer. So Mundhra seems to have now latched on to Sonal. And the news is that he has offered her not one, but two films. The actress is, however, yet to make an official announcement about her latest projects, preferring to wait till everything has been finalized. As for Mundhra, he is currently working on a film where Govinda plays a 40 year old virgin. He has been cast opposite Ayesha Takia and the film is called Excuse Me Please.
