Sonakshi Sinha will have a special appearance in Laal Kaptaan. The film is a period revenge drama starring Saif Ali Khan as a Naga Sadhu. The story revolves around a vengeful ascetic waging a war against his brother.

Sonakshi has also provided the voice-over for the film’s trailer, which was launched today. Speaking about her role, director Navdeep Singh said, “It's a special appearance, but a very pivotal one. I wanted somebody who would leave an impression, someone with star quality and appeal. Sonakshi fit the bill perfectly.” 

On working with the actor, Navdeep added, “She was fabulous to work with. I was a little apprehensive the night of the shoot. I hadn't met her before and we were already mid schedule. I had no idea what to expect. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. She is super smart, tuned in, a total professional.”

Laal Kaptaan, co-produced by Eros International and Colour Yellow Productions, is set for release on October 18.
