When BT reached out to Sonal, she confirmed the news. The Jannat actress said, “I don’t know if I replaced anyone. It does not work like that in films. People explore various options and cast an actor, who suits the script. Jacqueline is an achiever, and I have great respect for her as an actress. I am just glad that I am doing the film.”
Sonal added, “Getting a good film is like hitting a jackpot. Every actor gives her best but you don’t really know the results till the film hits the screens. When a film is made it does not depend on just one pillar. So many factors come together to make it a hit. So, I am glad that I have landed a role, which will be instrumental in taking the story forward.”
Sharing her views on a good script, Sonal said, “I have done a few good films and always felt that a script has to mentally and emotionally connect with audiences. Even if you look great or act with your whole heart, at the end of the day, it has to translate well onscreen. I am happy that I am paired opposite such a big star like Nagarjuna.”
Before Jacqueline, Kajal Agarwal was cast in the film but she had to opt out due to her pregnancy.
