Highlights
- After making an impact as a village belle in Dabangg, newcomer Sonakshi Sinha is set to change her on screen image with her next two films - Kick, where she will romance Salman Khan again, and Joker with Akshay Kumar.
- "Oh yes, there's more to me than the demure gaon ki sehmi-sehmi Rajjo in Dabangg. Audiences will see me totally urbanised in Joker and Kick," said the 23-year-old.
- Kick is the Hindi remake of the Tamil blockbuster of the same name that Shirish Kunder will direct for Sajid Nadiadwala, while Joker is a 3D movie to be made by Akshay's banner Hari Om Productions -- for this too Kunder will wield the megaphone.
After making an impact as a village belle in
Dabangg, newcomer Sonakshi Sinha is set to change her on screen image with her next two films -
Kick, where she will romance Salman Khan again, and
Joker with Akshay Kumar.
"Oh yes, there's more to me than the demure
gaon ki sehmi-sehmi Rajjo in
Dabangg. Audiences will see me totally urbanised in
Joker and
Kick," said the 23-year-old.
Kick is the Hindi remake of the Tamil blockbuster of the same name that Shirish Kunder will direct for Sajid Nadiadwala, while
Joker is a 3D movie to be made by Akshay's banner Hari Om Productions -- for this too Kunder will wield the megaphone.
Quizzed about two films with the same director, Sonakshi said: "It's just a coincidence that
Kick and
Joker have the same director. I signed them because I loved my role and the script.
"
Joker is going to be shot in 3D. I've always been fascinated by the technique. I remember as kids we used to watch 3D films like
Shiva Ka Insaaf
Sonakshi has a far larger role in Joker than in debut Dabangg.
"Oh yes, I am in almost every frame with Akshay. Dabangg
Apart from these two films, the actress has not finalised anything but producers are pursuing her relentlessly with offers that they feel she cannot refuse.
Sonakshi has also changed her phone number to avoid too many nuisance calls.
"I was getting too many calls with requests that made no sense to me," she said.
