In an earlier interview to mid-day, Sonam K Ahuja had said, "It's up to us artistes to use our voice for pressing and pertinent issues." That she walks the talk has been evident in her film choices - her last release, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, was Bollywood's first mainstream movie to shine a spotlight on same-sex love.

Now, mid-day has learnt that the actor is set to front a movie about gender pay disparity and the discrimination women face at the workplace. At the helm of affairs is a boutique production house known for backing good content.
