She has few hit films to her credit, but Sonam Kapoor is known internationally largely for her fashion statements at Cannes every year. The Neerja actress is now eyeing greener pastures after aligning with noted American talent agency, United Talent Agency. .

Kapoor confirmed the developmnt by retweeting this article from an international portal. 


Founded by Peter Benedict and Jim Berkus, UTA is a talent and literary agency with offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Nashville, Toronto, Miami, Malmo and Sweden. UTA’s clientele includes the cream of Hollywood stars such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford, Chris Brown, Kirsten Dunst etc.
