"Yes, I`m playing Kamal Hassan`s wife in Selvaraghavan`s film. Why should that be a problem," asked the confident newcomer Sonakshi, who is just 23. Kamal Haasan, who is 33 years her senior, in Tamil-Telugu director Selvaraghavan`s film and says once an actor is in front of the camera, age should not matter.
"In real life, age makes no difference in a marriage. On screen too your biological age is of no consequence. I`ve been acknowledged for being different from my female colleagues. Let me enjoy this difference," she said.
As part of her preparation to feel maturer, Sonakshi has requested the entire crew of Shirish Kunder`s ‘Joker’ in Chandigarh to stop treating her like the baby of the family.
"I`m not letting them treat me with kid`s gloves. I`ve made it very clear that Akshay, Shirish, Farah Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Sanjay Mishra and the entire team are my friends. It`s the only way to work," she said.
Sonakshi also intends to spend as much time as possible with Kamal Haasan to get comfortable in his company.
"It`s Kamalji I would like to get to know. I need to establish a comfort level with him. Of course, there`s a lot of initial nervousness. Naturally. Kamalji is legendary. Acting with him is difficult enough. But to play his wife, I need a lot more guts. But then I`ve a legend at home," said Sonakshi referring to her actor-politician father Shatrughan Sinha.
Sonakshi will also be watching Kamal Haasan`s film ‘Hey Rama’ where the actor was married to Vasundhara Das, at least 25 years his junior, to see the on-screen chemistry between the legendary actor and a much younger co-star.
