Actress Sonam Kapoor is currently promoting her upcoming film ' Neerja ', which is a biopic on late Air Hostess Neerja Bhanot, 23, who with her bravery and courage, saved the lives of hijacked passengers on PanAm flight in Karachi in 1986. The actress opened up about the promotional strategy and stated that the film's team is not trying to sell the movie as a product but, they are trying to inspire the youth through the brave story.

Sonam stated that, "Neerja Bhanot is an inspiration and she had become quite famous 30 years ago. So it is our endeavour that she becomes an inspiration again. This film is for Neerja Bhanot. We're not trying to sell this film, we are just trying to inspire people with this film." She further added that, "That's why we are going to colleges and speaking about brave people. It is unconventional, and we don't know how it's going to get translated. But we're trying to do something different and new, so that it's about her as opposed to us just selling the film."

Sonam further said that, "The film is for young people, to inspire the future of India, to say that we can all be heroes. I talk a lot about myself, but now it's important to talk about Neerja and the values she stood for. A lot of people are understanding that and seeing that. I hope everybody recognises what we're trying to portray."
