"Swara is a dear friend and someone I deeply respect as an actor. When I saw the teaser of 'Anaarkali of Arrah"' I was so excited and happy to lend my support to her and the film," Sonam said in a statement.
The "Nil Battey Sannata" actress is happy and thankful that the "Neerja" actress is supporting her film.
"Sonam is the most wonderful person I know in Bollywood. She is one of the most encouraging and enabling woman and friend anyone can ever have," Swara said.
"Anarkali of Arrah" revolves around an erotic singer (Swara) from Arrah in Bihar, who sings double meaning songs.
Things take an ugly turn when Anaarkali has confrontation with a very powerful man who molested her and instead of bowing down she chooses to fight back.
