Akshay Kumar to romance Sonakshi Sinha

Akshay Kumar may score another goal. He is likely to romance Bollywood's youngest and hottest chick Sonakshi Sinha in Shirish Kunder's Joker.

Sonakshi's stock is on the rise post Dabangg. She will be seen in Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick opposite Salman Khan again, and is in talks with Ramesh Taurani for Race-2 with Saif Ali Khan. The film also has Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham.

It is now known that Shirish and Farah Khan are keen to have Sonakshi in their film Joker. A trade consultant says, "Sonakshi has principally agreed to be in the film. But they are still working on details like the price and the dates." In the meantime, Deepika Padukone is annoyed that certain media reports have said that she is in Joker. A source close to Deepika says, "Deepika hasn't even been approached for Joker. It isn't as if she isn't keen to work with Akshay, Farah and Shirish. But she is disturbed by reports because none of them have approached her. So the question of accepting or rejecting the film doesn't even arise."
