In fact, I haven't even been able to fit in my workouts into my schedule! I guess working around the clock is doing me good." Well, if it works for her, it couldn't hurt much to keep this up because she's really looking great! Wot say, Sona? (less)

She mistook him for a unitwallah and snapped at him to stay away from her. The prank was planned with Devgn and Dutt and it continued till she realised it was Arjan.

Then she posed with him for a pic. This film is Arjan's first attempt at comedy after serious roles like the one in Fashion.

He has, however, done comedy in several Telugu films. Creating such humorous situations on the sets should help him prepare for the part, eh? (less)

"I know it makes a good sensational copy to link co-stars and makes for great gossip, but I just want to confirm that I am not dating or in a romantic relationship with anyone. "Oh ya - AND sorry to burst your bubble but I absolutely loathe valentines day, so for me to fuss around it, would be most unlikely! (sic)," Sinha wrote on her Twitter page.

. sequel | Mandakini | Kareena Kapoor | Imran Khan | Ekta Kapoor | Bollywood | Avatar | ashish | Akshay Kumar SHARE AND DISCUSS Tweet Sonakshi Sinha More Pics There has been intense speculation about who would be the leading lady of Once Upon A Time in Mumbai 2 after Kareena Kapoor walked out of the project, reportedly to accommodate Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film opposite Ranveer Singh.

For a while, it was rumoured that Sonakshi Sinha had been roped in for the part opposite Akshay Kumar in the film. And Mirror can now confirm that she is the chosen one to have finally signed on the dotted line.

A source close to the developments told us, "It is Sonakshi. She had been approached after Kareena walked out, but there were major date issues among other things.

With Rowdy Rathore and Joker yet to be released, the actress wasn't sure if she wanted to do yet another film with Akshay and vice versa. Then again, Kangna's name started doing the rounds.

However, after Ranveer's accident on the sets of Lootera, Sonakshi had a window of dates available, and finally agreed to do the film." Meanwhile, buzz is that Sonakshi had reservations about playing Dawood's girlfriend, Mandakini , which is why she took her own time making up her mind.

Especially since she would have to appear in a very bold avatar , unlike her screen persona. Ribbed about it, our source said, "Sonakshi was in two minds about playing a character based on the Bollywood actress.

That was coupled with the fact that she would have to ooze sexuality. However, all that has been taken care of now, and the makers have decided against the bold sequences.

Sonakshi is perfectly happy with the film." The film is slated to go on floors in August as Akshay will start shooting for Ashish R Mohan's Khiladi 786 in May and Sonakshi will also know where exactly Lootera stands after Ranveer's recovery.

The sequel to Once Upon a Time in Mumbai stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha and Imran Khan in lead roles and is directed by Milan Luthria. In spite of repeated attempts, Milan, Sonakshi and Ekta Kapoor remained unavailable for comments (less)

Sona, who's also active on social networking sites, shares her love for technology: Tech talk Yes, I love most gadgets. I like phones like everyone else, but mine should have great features and applications to keep me engaged.

I like Mp3 players, tablets, laptops, and sound systems. I am quite tech-savvy as well.

I was introduced to computers and the Internet in school, so I sort of grew along with it, learning things along the way. Even today, I have friends who call me first if there's something wrong with their phone or iPad! Online fun Like many, I am also hooked on to the Internet.

It's a whole world out there that's just waiting to be explored. Everything is just a click away, right from shopping to research to gaming, etc.

I like the fact that it is a gateway to everything. The one thing I don't like about the Internet is the fact that people misuse it in many ways.

Social connection Social networking has helped me connect with my fans from all over the world. When I was relatively new to the industry, interacting with my fans on these websites gave me confidence and motivated me to do better.

Their feedback, love and support have helped me understand how my fans would like to see me. It also gave me a platform to help my fans understand me better and get to know the real me.

Of course, you do get some criticism online, but if it's constructive, I do pay heed to it. And you can always ignore the rest! Recently, I've received an Invite from Whosay.

com, which is an invite only portal and I love it. All my social media accounts are synced into one and I can analyse the response all my posts receive.

It is really interesting and engaging. Click happy I love my iPad and rarely leave home without it.

It keeps me connected to all the things I require throughout the day like my pictures, email, games etc. I did like one of those remotes that control everything right from the lights to the TV, but I am afraid I'd get lazier than I already am if I do get one (laughs out loud) of those.

So we have Akshay Kumar and Imran Khan as the gangsters and Sonakshi Sinha as the starlet." So does Sonakshi really plays Mandakini's role or her character is a take off from the starlet's life? "There is a lot of fact-meets-fiction in the sequel.

In fact there is more of fiction than facts in the second part, but yes, Sonakshi plays the moll," says Milan. But why Sonakshi? "Because Sonakshi has a very Indian sex appeal.

I had met her before "Dabangg" released. I had gone to Salman's house for dinner and the whole team of " Dabangg " was there - it was at Salman's place where I saw Sonakshi and was awestruck by her simplicity and grace.

A lot of my casting is instinctive and when I saw Sonakshi, I felt she would be well-suited the role of a demure girl, who comes to the city of dreams to make a name for herself," says the director. But more than Sona, it is Imran Khan and his role in the sequel that has Milan super excited.

"You wait and watch for Imran. I have a feeling that our sequel will do to Imran, what "The Dirty Picture" did to Vidya Balan," gushes Milan, as he goes on to explain why he thinks Imran fits the bill.

"We chose Imran because of his mass appeal. He is extremely popular among young girls and the college going crowd, but with the sequel, he will be seen in an entirely different form.

This is exactly what we did with Vidya - we gave her a different colour that was out of her comfort zone. Imran too will be seen in something that's in stark contrast to his image.

His character has humour, action, witty one-liners and flamboyance, but he plays a typical sadak chhaap gangster with a heart of gold," shares Milan (less)

For the first time, she will play a gangster's moll in her most recent project, Ekta Kapoor's Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again, the sequel to Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. It will be her third film with Akshay Kumar , who plays Shoaib (modelled on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim ).

Sonakshi's character Yasmin is said to be based on the life of '80s actress Mandakini . Sona will be seen as Shoaib's love interest.

Imran Khan will be seen as Aslam who is drawn into Shoaib's activities and utimately forms the third angle to the love triangle. Sonakshi says, "While listening to a script, I place myself in the character while listening to the story.

If I can't picture myself in the role I don't do it. This character goes through an interesting transformation - from a young, innocent girl who aspires to be an actress to someone whose life changes after she falls in love with a gangster.

It's based in the 1980s and will be interesting to get into a character during that time." Talking about her third film on the trot with Akshay, Sonakshi says, "It's my third film with him.

I think we share very good on-screen chemistry which is why people keep casting us together. He's a very good co-star and fun on the sets.

He has got a great sense of humour and is very grounded despite his superstar status." (less)
