Off
late,
Sonakshi
Sinha
has
been
steering
clear
of
conventional
heroine
mould
and
experienting
with
her
roles.
After
'Akira'
and
'Ittefaq',
the
actress
recently
took
up
'Khandaani
Shafakhana'
where
she
plays
a
girl
who
runs
a
sex
clinic.
However,
the
film
which
released
on
Friday,
had
an
unimpressive
start
at
the
box
office.
Going
by
the
early
estimates,
Sonakshi's
experimentation
with
her
roles
has
failed
to
translate
into
box
office
numbers
as
it
collected
just
Rs
1
crore
on
its
day
of
release.
Speaking
about
the
film,
the
actress
earlier
was
quoted
as
saying
by
an
India
Today
report,
"I
shot
the
most
difficult
sequence
of
my
career
in
this
film,
where
I
am
shown
advertising
the
clinic
in
a
live
market.
So,
I
was
on
this
cycle
rickshaw
and
behind
me
was
a
huge
banner,
which
had
'sex'
written
on
it.
I
had
to
say
the
names
of
all
the
sex-related
illnesses
and
I
was
really
shy
before
doing
it.
Shilpi
(Dasgupta,
the
director)
gave
me
the
confidence
to
do
it.
That's
precisely
what
the
film
talks
about,
that
there
should
be
no
hesitation
in
the
first
place,
even
if
I
have
to
talk
about
it
in
front
of
1,000
people."
She
also
revealed
that
she
was
skeptical
about
taking
up
the
project
because
of
its
unusual
subject,
but
after
reading
the
script
and
getting
her
mother's
approval,
she
got
ready
to
do
it.
Sonakshi
was
quoted
as
saying,
"'A
girl
inherits
her
mama
ji's
sex
clinic.' When
I
heard
this,
my
first
reaction
was
why
have
these
people
come
to
me
with
such
a
film?
Don't
they
know
I
only
do
family
films?"
"After
I
heard
the
script,
I
realised
I
had
to
do
this
film
because
it
is
such
a
relevant
subject.
It
touches
upon
so
many
topics
that
people
should
be
talking
about
but
they
don't.
Once
my
mother
read
the
script,
she
loved
it.
When
you
get
your
mother's
approval
on
such
a
subject,
which
can
be
dicey,
you
are
relieved," she
further
added.
Directed
by
Shilpi
Dasgupta,
the
film
also
stars
Varun
Sharma
and
marks
the
Bollywood
debut
of
singer-rapper
Badshah.
