Sonakshi Sinha is back to work after her dreamy wedding with Zaheer Iqbal. The actress is recently busy with the promotion of her newly released film Kakuda which is a comedy horror film starring her along with Riteish Deshmukh, and Saqib Saleem. In an interview with Indian Express, the 37-year-old expressed his wish to play big roles and experiment with different genres instead of doing the same old "two songs and four scenes."

During the interview, Sinha was asked about the challenges of getting less mainstream, roles, Sonakshi said, “Toh achcha 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 added, “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 humor 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, and trying out something I hadn’t done before. I’d love to do it again because it was so much fun.”

Kakuda is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. He is also the director of Munjya. Kakuda is a horror comedy film starring Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha, Saqib Saleem, and others. Before this Sonakshi Sinha was seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Baazar.
