'PadMan' and 'Veere Di Wedding' actress Sonam Kapoor has a line up of many exciting projects in her hands. It is a fact now that novel adaptations into movies are loved at its core. Whether it be the famous JK Rowling adapted Hollywood hit Harry Potter, or the Notebook or be it Bollywood's Black Friday, 2 States, words turning into visuals are always appreciated.

Now, the fashionista is set to cherish the movie buffs with two bestseller adaptations, Anuja Chauhan's 'Battle For Bittora' and Krishna Udayasankar's 'Govinda'. It is also a fact that Aamir Khan is also battling to do a Mahabharata film. However, Sonam is ahead in the race with Mr. Perfectionist and ropes in the prestigious Novel of the same.

Govinda is the first part of the three-part series 'Aryavarta Chronicles' which is modern retelling of Mahabharata. The three books in the series are Govinda, Kaurava and Kurukshetra which collectively make the chronicle.

Talking about both the adaptations, Sonam said, "Both (Battle For Bittora and Govinda) can be made into films, and I’m going to do it. I don't know which character I will essay, but it’s Indian mythology, which is spectacular and has a lot of potential."

There were reports that for Anuja Chauhan's Battle For Bittora, the makers will cast Farhan Akhtar and Fawad Khan opposite Sonam Kapoor. Even though things did not go further then, Sonam is keen on taking the next step regarding this ambitious project. Also, she has signed 'The Zoya Factor' which is also Anuja's another bestseller.
