Sonakshi Sinha: If I like a role, I will do the film irrespective of the platform

In 2019, Sonakshi Sinha starred in films like Kalank, Khandaani Shafakhana, Mission Mangal, and Dabangg 3. But apart from Mission Mangal, none of the films made a mark at the box office and impressed the audiences.

The actress will next be seen on the big screen in Bhuj: The Pride Of India which is slated to release on 14th August 2020. But due to the lockdown, the makers are not sure if the film will release as per the schedule. Sonakshi will also be making her digital debut with a web series on Amazon Prime and recently while talking to a tabloid, the actress stated that she is open to doing direct-to-digital release films.


Talking about how the current scenario will change things for the film industry, the actress said, “Many films will now be made for OTT rather than for theatre, that too, with controlled costs. I’m reading a lot of scripts and will be careful about what I pick up. The story and character is most important.”

“I’m open to direct-to-digital films. If I like a role, I will do the film irrespective of the platform,” she added.

She also stated that it will take time for films to go on the floors. Sonakshi said, “It will take some time for films to go back on the floors. Even traveling will depend on government rules and regulations. How many flights can take off? How many people can be an active part of the action? It’s all wait and watch for now.”
