"Very few contemporary leading ladies can carry off a semi-classical number so fluently," raves Boney and adds that he will work with her again "very shortly."
The "Radha nachegi" song is one of the most expensive song-and-dance sequences to have ever been shot.
"We had to recreate the banks of the river Yamuna on a studio floor. It wasn't easy...or cheap," said Boney.
The director will be casting Sonakshi in the Hindi remake of yet another South Indian hit directed by a fresh director.
