February 13, 2010, (Sawf News) - Sonam Kapoor will pair with Akshay Kumar in Anees Bazmee's upcoming comedy 'Thank You' replacing Katrina Kaif.

This will be 24-year-old Sonam's first film with 42-year-old Akshay Kumar.

Helmer Bazmee is unfazed by their age difference, so impressed was he with Sonam's performance and looks in Delhi-6.

'Thank You' is conceptualized to be an unabashed comedy and will be Sonam's first foray into the genre.

Sonam made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with Saawariya and then impressed the industry with her performance in Delhi-6 in 2009.

She will be next seen in Aisha based on Jane Austen's "Emma." The film is being produced by her father Anil Kapoor and directed by Rajshri Ojha. It additionally stars Abhay Deol and Arunoday Singh.

Sonam Kapoor has at least four other projects in various stages of pre-production. She was recently signed on for Pankaj Kapoor's directorial venture Mausam opposite Shahid Kapoor.
