Watching a film together doesn't mean you're dating: Sonakshi

Responding to the dating rumours, Sonakshi said "I don't react to these rumours. You should ask people who write about it. If we work together and if we watch a film together, it doesn't mean you are in a relationship."

Meanwhile, the actress is also happy that she got an opportunity to share screen space with megastar Rajinikanth in southern film 'Lingaa'.

Talking about the film, she said "This film is in two parts, one is present day and the other one is set in 1940. The story is well written and more than a romantic interest, my character is a supporter who encourages him (Rajinikanth). So it was easier for me. I am extremely happy to work with Rajini sir."

Big B, Rajini to clash at box office

Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth
This time around, Big B and the South sensation will again clash at the box office on April 11. It has emerged that Bachchan's 'Bhootnath Returns' and Rajini's 'Kochadaiiyaan' will hit the marquee on the same date.

Interestingly, both the icons have worked together in films such as 'Andha Kanoon' (1983), 'Geraftaar' (1985), 'Dosti Dushmani' (1986) and 'Hum' (1991). While Rajnikant did a special appearance in 'RA.One' (2011), Big B did a voiceover for the film.

Says an industry watcher, "With the release dates of their films now confirmed, it will be interesting to see the legends take on each other at the box office. The two stars have fans across the globe and their films' collections will be followed closely."

'Bhootnath Returns' is a sequel to Big B's 2008 horror comedy 'Bhootnath', while 'Kochadaiiyaan' is a period drama that has used state-of-the-art technology with Rajinikanth reprising his larger-than-life persona. In fact, the latter, which also stars Deepika Padukone, will be released in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Bengali and Punjabi across 6,000 screens, in addition to an international version in English.

Adds the industry watcher, "It is well-known that when Rajinikanth's film releases, it is festival time for his fans. The shows begin as early as 5 am especially in South India and often people burst crackers, beat drums and throw flowers at the screen before the show. The movie's reel is also worshipped at temples. So this clash is surely an interesting development."
