About a year and a half following her entry into Bollywood, Sonakshi Sinha must have started realising that life isn’t, despite appearing so initially, a bed of roses. Speculations linking her up with the industry’s single men have kept the media busy, as have her weighty issues. And her second film is still months away from release, with her filmography still reading the same way as it did after Dabangg.
But let a few months pass, and be prepared for a Sona overdose, with as many as five of her films slated for release between June and December. “No other actor, male or female, has so many releases this year. And considering she is still very new to Bollywood, it’s the fate of these five that will decide what shape Sonakshi’s career takes now on,” says a trade insider.
“Compared to these times, Dabangg must seem like a cakewalk, with Salman Khan leading from the front and no burden of expectations on her,” a prominent filmmaker comments. “However, things are different now and her roles will be observed through a magnifying glass.”
