The Zoya Factor is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Abhishek Sharma and produced by Fox Star Studios, Pooja Shetty and Aarrti Shetty, with Shah Rukh Khan serving as narrator. Starring Dulquer Salmaan and Sonam K Ahuja. The film is a light adaptation of Anuja Chauhan's 2008 novel of the same name,[8] which follows the story of a girl, Zoya Solanki, who becomes a lucky charm for the Indian Cricket team during the 2011 Cricket World Cup, and the team captain Nikhil Khoda who doesn't believe in luck and superstitions. Plot Zoya Singh Solanki (Sonam Kapoor Ahuja) is forever jinxed in her love life and professional life which reach an all-time low when her rich dentist boyfriend (Rishi Hapawat) dumps her, and her boss (Koel Purie) at the ad agency grows displeased with her inefficient work. But soon, her luck sends her to Sri Lanka to shoot an ad film with the Indian cricket team. Zoya accidentally meets Nikhil Khoda (Dulquer Salmaan), the Indian team captain who is a staunch believer of hard work and against his team's dependence on superstitions. When Zoya gets invited to a breakfast with the team, she reveals that she was born the day when India won its first World Cup. This makes the team believe that Zoya could be their lucky mascot. Her luck rubs off sensationally when the team wins the match in Sri Lanka. This irks Nikhil, who is attracted to Zoya, but is also irritated by the media for giving her the credit for their wins. Nikhil is at loggerheads with Robin (Angad Bedi).
