 Just a day before the release of his first film with Sonakshi Sinha,
Salman Khan has signed another film with the much talked-about
debutante. On Thursday afternoon, producer Sajid Nadiadwala drove down to the
Sinhas’ bungalow to sign Sonakshi opposite Salman in the Hindi remake of
the Tamil blockbuster Kick, which Shirish Kunder will be directing for
Nadiadwala. Salman was not only keen to sign Kunder as director, he also
strongly recommended Sonakshi for the female lead, which Ileana had
performed in the Telugu original.
Confirming the news, Sajid Nadiadwala says, “It was Salman who was
very keen that I sign Sonakshi opposite him in Kick. I became a hundred
percent sure of her after I saw her in Dabangg. She and Salman make a
great pair. I am very happy to be working with Shatruji’s daughter. He
has worked extensively for my banner. In fact, I’ve a picture at home
with Shatruji when he was shooting for our banner in Bhai Ho To Aisa. I
was 6 at that time.”
Says Sajid emotionally, “This is the first time I’ve gone to
someone’s house to sign an actor. Everyone comes to my office. But
Sonakshi is Shatrughan Sinhaji’s daughter.”
Adds Shatughan Sinha, “I told Sonakshi that I’ve worked wth Sajid’s
grandfather and father. Now it’s her turn to continue the tradition.God
willing my sons too will work with Sajid.”
The remake of Kick-starts this winter. Incidentally, this is
Sonakshi’s third film with Salman. She is already doing the sequel to
Dabangg with the star.
