Was Kareena originally offered Sonakshi's role in Once Upon A Time in Mumbai Dobara

After delivering super hits like Once Upon A Time in Mumbai and The Dirty Picture, all eyes are trained on Milan Luthria's forthcoming film Once Upon A Time in Mumbai Dobara. The filmmaker explains why he likes love triangles and how he doesn't take success seriously

Vidya Balan created a sensation with The Dirty Picture. Are you confident that Sonakshi Sinha too will be known for her acting prowess after Once Upon A Time in Mumbai Dobaara (OUATIMD)?
Sonakshi's talent has zapped me. There could have been a vacuum after having worked with Vidya, but there wasn't. Sonakshi is playing a Muslim girl and we have worked hard to change her look. Also, people will take notice of Sonakshi the actor; she plays a pivotal role in the film.
