Ittefaq actor Sonakshi Sinha: Would love to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan’s production Ittefaq stars Sonakshi Sinha, Sidharth Malhotra and Akshaye Khanna.

After working with Shah Rukh Khan’s production house, Red Chillies Entertainment, Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha says she harbours a dream to share screen space with the superstar himself. Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Karan Johar have co-produced Sonakshi Sinha’s forthcoming thriller, Ittefaq.

“I would love to (work with him) as well! Other than being the superstar that he is, I think he is a wonderful and humble person! Possibly the most chivalrous actor I’ve met,” Sonakshi Sinha told IANS.

“He has been my producer on Ittefaq. So I’ve worked with him in that capacity, but I would definitely want to share screen space with him,” she added.

The film, co-produced by B.R. Studios, also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Akshaye Khanna and is all set to release on November 3. Ittefaq is adapted from the 1969 film of the same name that was produced by B.R. Chopra and directed by Yash Chopra. The 1969 film starred Rajesh Khanna, Nanda and Iftekhar in lead roles.

Ittefaq marks the first time when Sonakshi Sinha and Sidharth Malhotra will be working opposite each other. This will also be the first time when the three leads share the screen together. Earlier today, trade analyst Girish Johar shared that he expects the film to earns Rs 3-4 crores on the first day and if spoilers are not revealed then maybe it would hit Rs 13- 15 crore.

“As an industry, we would really want fans to be mature and let everyone enjoy the experience of watching a film for the first time. I really hope that they pay heed to the request of all the actors who have advised their fans not to give spoilers. It will be beneficial for the industry overall, not just the production houses,” movie business expert Girish Johar told indianexpress.com.
