Director Prabhudheva gave this golden opportunity to Sonu Sood to play a crucial role in his film Ramaiya Vastavaiya. In the movie, Sood played lead actress Shruti Haasan's brother. And now Sood will be seen playing the main villain opposite Shahid Kapoor in R… Rajkumar."Prabhudeva has repeated Sonu in R... Rajkumar after Ramaiya Vastavaiya. While he had a very strong part to play as Shruti Haasan's brother in the latter, Sonu has been roped in as the main villain opposite Shahid Kapoor in the former. Prabhudheva finds him really non-fussy and after these two films, he plans to repeat the actor in his future outings as well," informs a source.Acknowledges Prabhudheva, "Sonu Sood is a very nice guy. He may be playing a villain in R... Rajkumar but he is a great guy. He is terrific in the film and his combination with Shahid and Sonakshi is quite remarkable. Out here is totally different from what he had done in Ramaiya Vastavaiya. While he was a little serious and emotional there, in R... Rajkumar, he is playing to the gallery and is very entertaining. Seldom do you find a villain who makes you smile as well as get angry on him. However he has managed to do that. As for my personal equation with him, I am happy and lucky to be his friend." Glad to work with Prabhu, Sood said, "I share a great rapport with him. When a director repeats you in back to back films then you are bound to feel nice. Prabhudheva has blind trust in me and that matters a lot. I am flattered to be a friend of Prabhudheva." Who would not be? LOL!

Tigmanshu Dhulia’s latest offering Bullet Raja may have missed the target at box office, but it has been collecting appreciations for the star daughter Sonakshi Sinha, who portrayed a character that is far from any vulgarity and controversy. She says her next film R…Rajkumar also has the influence of her style, which is again on the lines of Indian traditions.It is a known fact that Sonakshi have never played a damsel in distress. Be it her debut movie Dabangg or R…Rajkumar, the audience finds her, often, cladding in Indian outfits. “My closest friends know I am pretty bindaas that way, and these characters that I have played, have been women of substance and people who have their own voice. I think that when people meet me they realize that I am like that, and that's why I get cast for these roles. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and portray who I am on screen,” said Bullet Raja girl.She added that she has her own rules about what she will or won't do on screen, and is very unapologetic about them. Sonakshi wore a sari and came out of the water in Gandi Baat in R... Rajkumar, there was much talk about the missing bikini from that quintessential Bollywood scene.“I am glad that people are talking about it. I found it really funny when it was brought to my notice - that when people come out of the water, they come out in bikinis, and I was in a sari. Prabhu sir (Prabhu Deva, the director) knows how to project his heroines in a good way without making it look vulgar or cheap. So I was very happy, I had no qualms in doing that scene. And really, being sexy or sex appeal doesn't lie in the length of your clothes or how skimpy an outfit is or how much you're revealing. I think it's always nicer to leave stuff to imagination,” she averred.You have a point girl.
