Working with Sonakshi was inspiring for Imran

Actor Imran Khan is very impressed with his "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!" co-star Sonakshi Sinha's professional attitude toward her work and her punctuality. He says it's inspiring to work with such people.

"For the first time I have worked with Sonakshi, and I enjoyed working with her. She is very professional and a very punctual actress. Everyday she reached the sets before time," Imran said here Sunday on the set of the TV crime show "C.I.D.".

"She knows her dialogues and her scenes inside out. So, when you work with such people, it feels good and it is very inspiring," he added.

Even actor Dayanand Shetty, who plays the popular character of Daya in the TV show, is impressed with the actress.

"I just came to know that Sonakshiji was here (on the set of 'C.I.D') by 11:00 a.m. So that punctuality is to what extent I don't know as she was called around 12.30 p.m.," he said.

Directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Ekta Kapoor, "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!" is a sequel to 2010 hit "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai". Releasing Friday, it also features Akshay Kumar.
