Sonakshi Sinha to turn serious with Amrita-Pritam biopic

23 Dec 2014

Having gone down the commercial road as far as possible, Sonakshi Sinha whose latest masala film Action Jackson has received tremendous flak, has now decided to take the more sober route.

Sonakshi will now be playing the eminent author-poet Amrita Pritam in the bio-pic to be directed by debutante Jasmeet Reen. The young actress, known so far for her bubbly effervescent characters is all set to take a serious shot at an intense and real performance.

A source very close to the actress reveals, "Though no formal announcement has been made, Sonakshi Sinha is playing Amrita Pritam. She is very excited about the challenge of playing her first real-life character." This won't be Sonakshi's first realistic character. She earlier did Vikramaditya Motwane's Lootera, for which she got huge applause.

Says the source, "There are many reasons why Sonakshi Sinha does these commercial films. Firstly, she enjoys them. And secondly, she can't say no to friends who want her in their films. But now she's determined to try her hand at something more serious."
