After
impressing
one
and
all
with
her
performance
in
Dabangg,
Sonakshi
Sinha
is
certainly
a
hot
property.
The
pretty
actress
has
been
signed
by
Shirish
Kunder
for
his
ambitious
3D
directorial
venture
Joker.
Sonakshi
would
be
paired
opposite
none
other
than
Akshay
Kumar
in
Joker.
Explaining
his
choice
of
why
Sonakshi
for
the
leading
lady,
Shirish
reasons,
"Sonakshi
fitted
the
role
perfectly.
Hers
is
an
extremely
performance
oriented
character
which
is
there
throughout
the
film
with
Akshay.
Besides
another
reason
for
choosing
Sonakshi
is
the
fact
that
she
and
Akki
would
be
a
fresh
on-screen
pair
considering
Akshay
has
worked
with
most
of
the
top
leading
ladies."
Unlike
Dabangg
in
which
she
played
a
village
belle,
Sonakshi
would
be
seen
playing
a
modern
girl
in
Joker.Shirish
Kunder
wrote
on
his
twitter
page,
"Joker
is
a
Human
Drama.
A
tale
of
a
bunch
of
Underdogs
fighting
for
victory.
Treated
throughout
with
kickass
humor.
And
some
Sci-Fi
:-)."
Besides
Akshay
and
Sonakshi,
Joker
would
also
boast
of
a
huge
supporting
cast
which
Shirish
would
be
announcing
in
the
days
to
come.
Commenting
on
whether
there
will
be
some
Hollywood
technicians
involved
considering
that
it's
a
3-D
film,
Shirish
says,
"Most
of
the
technicians
will
be
from
India
but
yes,
since
this
a
new
technology,
we
would
be
using
the
expertise
of
some
experienced
names
from
Hollywood
too."
Joker
is
a
co-production
between
Farah
Khan
&
Shirish
Kunder's
Three's
Company
and
Akshay's
Hari
Om
Entertainment.
The
film
goes
on
floors
in
January
2011
and
will
be
mostly
shot
all
around
India.
