While several scenes in Eros International's 'Raanjhanaa' required Sonam Kapoor to essay the character of a school girl, the actress admits to taking inspiration from Jaya Bachchan's character in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's film 'Guddi'.
Sonam says, "I needed a reference point for my character-a naughty, spunky school girl. I had already seen Guddi but I saw it again before shooting for the film. I was inspired by Jaya Bachchanji in Guddi for the film."
It was also a dream come true for Sonam to be shooting for these scenes especially since it was something she never did during her school days.
"I studied at a very conservative school. I was not allowed to wear short skirts or be boisterous or have fun with the boys but through the course of this film I did everything that I couldn't do in my school days," she further adds.
'Raanjhanaa' scheduled to release on June 21, also stars South actor Dhanush and Abhay Deol in the lead roles.
