Sonakshi determined to try sober roles now?

Dec 23, 2014 NR

Having performed quite a few masala movie roles like the one in "Action Jackson" that has got only average box office response, Sonakshi Sinha seems to be set to take a more sober route with a biopic on eminent author-poet Amrita Pritam.

A source very close to the actress said, "Though no formal announcement has been made Sonakshi is playing Amrita Pritam. She is very excited about the challenge of playing her first real-life character."

The movie is to be directed by debutante Jasmeet Reen.

Sonakshi, known so far for her bubbly and effervescent characters, is all set to take a serious shot at an intense and real performance.

This won't be Sonakshi's first realistic character. She earlier did Vikramaditya Motwane's "Lootera", for which she received appreciation.

"There are many reasons why Sonakshi does 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", the source added.

Her next release is the Arjun Kapoor-starrer "Tevar", which again falls in the same commercial category. Click the Movie button below for more info:
