Sonakshi Sinha's dream role with husband Zaheer Iqbal in a film is THIS! Wants to play a villain

Sonakshi Sinha began her career as a quintessential commercial film heroine with Dabangg, followed by a string of masala entertainers. However, over time, she made a conscious effort to break the mould with nuanced roles in films like Lootera and Akira.

She further pushed the envelope with powerful performances in OTT series like Dahaad and Heeramandi, where she portrayed a character with grey shades.Sonakshi is glad that filmmakers are now seeing her in a new light. She says, “I am glad that directors have started thinking out of the box in terms of presenting me as an actor, and I am grateful for that. As a creative person, I go for stories, roles and ideas that really stir something in me.”Sonakshi also expressed a desire to reunite with her husband, Zaheer Iqbal, on screen. The couple had shared screen space in Double XXL (2022). While they would love to be a part of a project again, they have a hatke idea in mind for such a project. Zaheer says, “Sonakshi and I should both play negative roles.” Sonakshi added, “Yes, the two of us as villains pitted against everyone.”I love seeing Sonakshi in negative roles: ZaheerZaheer loved Sonakshi’s portrayal of the scheming Mallikajaan in Heeramandi. Zaheer gushed, “I love seeing Sonakshi in negative roles, especially in a series like Heeramandi. I think she looks damn cool. Also, she has an eye for those characters. In real life, though, I can’t be serious with her. If she looks at me angrily, I break into laughter.”
