The 26-year-old actress has often been at the receiving end of the critics for her ethnic look in films like ''R... Rajkumar', 'Dabangg' and 'Rowdy Rathore' among others.
Sonakshi, who reunites with her 'Rowdy Rathore' co-star Akshay Kumar in the upcoming film 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', will be seen playing an urban girl, which is quite different from her village belle avatars.
The A R Murugadoss directed film is slated June 6.
"I never see the clothes that I am going to wear in a film over the role and character that I play. This character happened to be an urban girl and I liked the script and role when I saw the Tamil film. It was different and intelligent and that is why I signed for it," Sonakshi said.
Paired once again opposite Akshay Kumar in Holiday after 'Rathore', 'Joker' and 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara', the actress said she was excited about the casting as the duo share a good rapport.
