Sonakshi Sinha, the Dabangg beauty will be starring opposite Akshay Kumar in Shirish Kunder’s Joker. It is a 3D film and has been in the scripting stage for quite a while. Shrish has his reasons as to why he chose Sonakshi,, “Sonakshi fitted the role perfectly. Hers is an extremely performance oriented character which is there, throughout the film with Akshay. Besides another reason for choosing Sonakshi is the fact that she and Akki would be a fresh on-screen pair considering Akshay has worked with most of the top leading ladies.”
Sonakshi will be playing a modern girl, unlike her village avatar in the 2010 blockbuster. Joker would also be having a huge supporting cast that Shirsh will announce in the days to come. Shirish will be tapping on Indian talent for the 3d technology, largely. He says, “Most of the technicians will be from India but yes, since this a new technology, we would be using the expertise of some experienced names from Hollywood too.”
Joker is a joint venture between Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder’s Three’s Company and Akshay’s Hari Om Entertainment. The shooting of the film will be commencing from January 2011 and will be shot in India only.
