The makers of 'Joker' are a happy lot. After all they have Sonakshi Sinha as the leading lady who is coming straight out of 'Dabangg' and is now aiming at getting into an altogether different mode, the one that allows her to be totally uninhibited in front of the camera.

"She is coming up with a 'jhatak-matak' act that is making her stand out from others in her ilk," informs a unit member of 'Joker', "She is going totally 'bindaas' with Akshay here and it shows on camera. She recently did a song for the film where the setting is totally 70s, what with a horde of 'hippie-cum-Sadhus' in the background."

Quiz Shirish Kunder (who has earlier worked with Preity Zinta in his debut directorial outing 'Jaan-E-Mann') about his leading lady and he says, "Sonakshi has that gift which I guess come from her genes. You have to tell Sonakshi just once about what you want and she does it just perfectly well. You don't have to explain things much to her. This reflects not just in her dance and body language but also the dialogue delivery as she brings in punctuations at just the right place in the right way."

Also starring Shreyas Talpade and Minissha Lamba with music by GV Prakash, 'Joker' arrives under the banner of Farah Khan & Shirish Kunder's 'Three's Company' and Akshay Kumar's 'Hari Om Entertainment Co.' and is a UTV co-production.
