After playing the girl-next-door in Mausam, Sonam Kapoor sports a grunge look in upcoming Players, a remake of The Italian Job. In her first film with director duo Abbas Mustan, the actress does a bold act by showing the middle finger while the promos catch her doing a hip shake.

Is the grunge look in Players a new addition to your style statement?

I have always liked this look. But I did not want to try it for just any movie. But when Abbas Mustan came to me with this film, I chose to go for it. Mainly because they have the ability to make their heroines look hot, not vulgar.

Abhishek Bachchan and you pair up yet again after Delhi-6. You always call him your favourite co-star. What do you like about him?

He is a gentleman. He is not trying to be superior to his co-stars and is very co-operative. He speaks to everybody on the set and never talks down to anyone. He is genuine as a person, which is such a rare trait in the world.

Your last release Mausam was a colossal flop. Disappointed with the results?

No. I was praised a lot for the film. For me that’s more important than what worked in the film and what didn’t. Also I got the chance of working with a genius called Pankaj Kapur.

There are rumours about you being a part of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Is it true?

I have a special appearance in the film. That’s about it.

What is your style mantra for the New Year?

Bling. Just wear shiny things.
