Sonakshi Sinha Explores New Territory With ‘Kakuda’ After Marriage

Sonakshi Sinha, returning to work after her recent marriage to Zaheer Iqbal, discussed her upcoming release “Kakuda,” premiering on ZEE5 today, in an interview with The Indian Express. She expressed enthusiasm about exploring new territories with this project, describing it as a departure from her usual comfort zone. Sonakshi emphasized her interest in diverse genres and affirmed her reluctance to accept roles in films characterized solely by a few songs and scenes. Her commitment to meaningful and substantial roles reflects her dedication to expanding her acting repertoire beyond conventional formats.

During the interview when Sonakshi was asked if it can be challenging for actors if there is less work to do in mainstream films, she said, “Toh acchha hai na (It is good then)! 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 went on to add, “Kakuda 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. It was a pleasure to work on a genre like this for the first time with a director like him who is so well versed with it. So, I had a blast. It was me stepping out of my comfort zone, trying out something I hadn’t done before. I’d love to do it again because it was so much fun.”
