Sonakshi Sinha, who has been roped in for a remake of the 1969 suspense thriller Ittefaq, says she is looking at it as a fresh film.
“I have not seen the old Ittefaq. So for me, I am doing a new film. And I am sure a lot of people from our generation have not seen the original Ittefaq either. The way film is rewritten and adapted to fit in today’s scenario and time, makes it a fresh film. I am looking at it as a new film,” Sonakshi said on Monday during an interview.
The 1969 classic was directed by late filmmaker Yash Chopra and starred Rajesh Khanna, Nanda and Madan Puri in pivotal roles.
Sonakshi, who is selecting strong women-oriented roles, is stepping into the role Nanda played.
“I would like people to know me as a versatile actor who can perform all kinds of roles,” said Sonkashi, who is paired with Sidharth Malhotra in Ittefaq.
The film is being helmed by Abhay Chopra, grandson of the late B R Chopra who had produced the original film.
