How ‘hyperactive’ Ranveer Singh delivered muted Lootera performance: Sonakshi Sinha reveals details, says she had ‘friction’ with Vikramaditya Motwane

Sonakshi recalled that she had some “friction” with Vikramaditya when they started shooting and said that they “both come from different schools of cinema.” Sinha recalled, “He used to be like ‘Get into the character, stay in this, feel the emotion’ and I was like ‘Huh? What is he saying?’ We did have friction initially. I asked him one day ‘How can Paakhi be cracking jokes at one moment and then coughing up blood, crying the next? That’s when he realised he should just let me be, and said ‘Whatever it is you are doing, is working for me’. That was our moment of reconciliation.”

Looking back, Sonakshi said that she is “truly proud” of Lootera. “I looked at the screen and felt I was not watching myself, but someone completely different,” she said.
