Wednesday, 11th June 2014, 06:00 PM IST His latest release ‘Holiday’ is garnering praises from the audience, and director A. R. Murugadoss is already charged up about his next hero-centric film. However, the ‘hero’ in this film is Shotgun’s daughter Sonakshi Sinha.
Murugadoss said, “There will be no male hero in the film. Sonakshi Sinha will play the main lead. She will be the hero of the film, much in the same way as Aamir Khan in ‘Ghajini’ and Akshay Kumarin ‘Holiday’.” For this particular film, Sonakshi will be training under Hollywood action director Greg Powell who was roped in for ‘Holiday’.
On being asked if Sonakshi’s role in the film is on the lines of ‘Kill Bill’ or ‘Lara Croft’ the director said, “Neither‘Lara Croft’ nor ‘Kill Bill’. Sonakshi’s action avatar would be completely new.I feel she has it in her to shoulder a whole action film. I am committed to direct this film for Fox Star. Unlike my two other Hindi films so far the Sonakshi-centric script would be an original.” He will start shooting with Sonakshi once he completes his Tamil film. “I left behind a 40-percent complete Tamil film ‘Kaththi’ to make ‘Holiday’. Now I am going back to Chennai to complete that film. As soon as I finish that one I will return to make my film with Sonakshi,” says the director. |
