New Delhi | Jagran Entertainment Desk: The trailer of Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan's The Zoya Factor has finally hit the web. Sonam took to Twitter and shared the trailer of the film, which is based on Anuja Chauhan's book of the same name.
The trailer chronicles the story of a girl named Zoya who took birth on the day India lifted the cricket World Cup in 1983 and her dad asserting that she will be "world famous" someday.
While she deals with the anomalies, not-so happening love and professional life, Zoya, who hates cricket, is tasked with shooting the men in blue in their new jersey.
And as they say, love can strike you anytime, a chance encounter with the Indian cricket team makes Zoya fall for captain Nikhil Khoda (Dulquer Salmaan).
The two-minute forty-six second trailer shows Zoya soon hitting the headlines and earning monikers like 'Mata'.
Sharing the trailer on her twitter handle, the 'Aisha' actor wrote, "The lucky mascot of 1.2 billion people is ready to spread some luck. Share The Zoya Factor trailer with 20 people and get instant good luck."
The Zoya Factor has been delayed quite a few times. It was initially meant to hit the screens on April 5, 2019 and then it got pushed to June, and now is releasing on September 20. There was much speculation that the film was delayed due to the Cricket World Cup that took place this year. However, another reason provided was that the film was delayed as there was post-production work left.
The upcoming film is based on Anuja Chauhan's 2008 novel of the same name. The novel revolves around a Rajput girl -- Zoya Singh Solanki, an executive in an advertising agency, who meets the Indian Cricket Team as part of a project. Following an interesting turn of events, she ends up becoming a lucky charm for the team during the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
Just a while back, Sonam had unveiled the poster of the film with the caption, "Who needs Nimbu Mirchi, when you have Zoya Solanki! India’s lucky charm is here to turn tables around for you."
Directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film also features Sanjay Kapoor and Angad Bedi in crucial roles. Sanjay Kapoor plays the role of Sonam's father, while Angad Bedi plays her brother.
