Sonakshi Sinha recently opened up about not wanting to do smaller roles in films where she just has two songs and four scenes in entirety. She was recently seen in the horror-comedy Kakuda alongside Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem. It is helmed by Munjya director Aditya Sarpotdar.
In an interview with The Indian Express, Sonakshi said, “I would like to do big roles, important roles. It is a good thing. Akira (2016), where I was the hero, it was like tasting blood. I never want to go back to doing two songs and four scenes in a film. So, I am enjoying this phase. Bring it on!”
She reflected on what made her do Kakuda and said, “The film’s script came to me and I just found it to be such a fun read. I was very entertained while reading the script. Although I don’t like horror films, there was so much humour in this film. Aditya (Sarpotdar) is someone who has understood this genre so well. I think his grasp on it is fantastic. He kind of knows where to scare people, where to make them laugh, the punches, the beats, he gets it bang on.”
Kakuda released on ZEE5 on July 12. It is Sonakshi’s second prominent release this year after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar where she had a prominent role. She also had a special appearance in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
