Rajinikanth surprised by Sonakshi's work in her Tamil debut

Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who will share the screen with the south superstar Rajinikanth, has surprised him with her performance.

Sonakshi, 26, is making her debut in Tamil with 'Lingaa'.

"It is Sonakshi's debut in the south and we all are quite fascinated, including Rajnikanth sir, by how she has adapted to the south movies so quickly. Even though it is a completely new language for Sonakshi, she has been pretty quick with the shooting and all the scenes are coming out perfect in the first shot itself," a source from the production team said.

The shooting of 'Lingaa', starring Rajinikanth, Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka Shetty and Jagapathy Babu is currently underway in Mysore. The film will have music by A R Rahman.

Directed by K S Ravikumar, the film spans generations and goes from current times to the flashback
