Gossip mills are abuzz that Sonakshi has been finalized to play the protagonist in the film, titled 'Haseena - The Queen of Mumbai'.
"We are just in talks for it. Till I sign on the dotted line I would prefer not to talk about it," Sonakshi said.
To be directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film will depict the emotional saga of the underworld don's sister.
"I wasn't surprised... I felt good that the makers felt I could carry off such a powerful role. I was surprised because of the content as I have never done that before," Sonakshi said.
When asked if the content was a worry factor for her while signing the film, she said, "No...not really."
The 28-year-old actor will be seen next in Abhinay Deo's 'Force 2' and A.R. Murugadoss's 'Akira'.
"2016 will be an action-packed year. I am still in talks for some more projects, very soon there will be some announcements made," she added.
