COVER Story

With barely a month to go for the release of Lootera, Sonakshi Sinha is overwhelmed by the positive response to the lm’s promos. Stating that it was only a matter of time before she attempted meaty roles like this, the beautiful actress maintains that the audience expected “too much too soon” from her. StarWeek reports

B y E E P S I T A G U H A

The stunning Sonakshi Sinha recently celebrated her 26th birthday. Come to think of it, it’s almost unbelievable that the girl has achieved so much at such a tender age. After all, our Sona darling has got everything a 26-year old can dream of and more. Bring this to her notice and she smilingly says, “I’m proud of myself and thankfully, so are my parents”. Moreover, things seem to be getting even better for Shotgun Jr. with several promising lms lined up, one after the other. As we sit down for a chat, the gorgeous star opens up about falling in love with the story of Lootera, working with Ranveer Singh and dealing with the audience’s huge expectations from her. Excerpts:

2013 is easily your busiest year so far with as many as four releases lined up and several others in the pipeline…I know I’m having a really busy year but it feels great. It just feels like your hard work is paying off and that you are doing something right. I feel truly fortunate and blessed that I have been able to do so much in such a short span of time. And most importantly, I enjoy my work. Nothing gets better than that.

Your rst lm of the year, is nearing its release date and the response to the promos has been tremendous. What drew you to

the love story in the rst place? For me, it was the script of Lootera that instantly drew me. It was the rst thing that struck me. Vikramaditya (Motwane) and I had met brie y at an award function and we mutually admired each other’s work. I had really liked Udaan. So there, we just told each other that it would be really nice to work together. And a few months after that, he approached me with Lootera. At that point of time, it was very different from the kind of lms that I was already doing. I was doing those out-and-out commercial, masala lms and Lootera is so different. It is so

BOX-OFFICE BONANZA

weekend closed at a healthy total of over 62 crores. With word of mouth ranging from above average to very good, the lm can be assured of a 100-crore total.

Naturally, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have a lot to cheer about. For Ranbir, this is a great response for an out-and-out commercial lm, which should make him inch closer to the Top-5 zone. Meanwhile, Deepika has

now delivered three back-to-back successes with Cocktail, Race 2 and YJHD. With Chennai Express all set to see a huge opening for itself, she has further consolidated her place as the most saleable young actress around.

ISHKQ IN PARIS IS A HUGE DISASTER Preity Zinta’s Ishkq In Paris has turned out to be a colossal disaster.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (YJHD) embarked on a winning note from the word

go. It took an opening in the range of 60-70 per cent, with premium multiplexes registering even 80 per cent. As a result, it was clear that there was no stopping this Karan Johar-produced affair. Friday saw over 19 crores coming in. Later, with Saturday and Sunday turning out to be bumper as well, the
