Sonakshi Sinha feels films based on books are lucky for her

Sonakshi Sinha, who is gearing up for the release of Noor -- a film adaptation of Saba Imtiazs Karachi, You’re Killing Me! -- might have found her luck in books as she was once told by an astrologer that books are lucky for her.

Though Sonakshi does not believe in these things, she was amused by the astrologer’s statement.

Earlier, Sonakshi was praised by critics for her performance in Vikramaditya Motwane’s 2013 film Lootera, which was an adaptation of The Last Leaf by O Henry.

“I don’t believe in these things but it is a happy coincidence. Noor and Lootera both are films very close to my heart,” Sonakshi said in a statement.

Directed by Sunhil Sippy, Noor, which also features Kanan Gill, Shibani Dandekar and Purab Kohli, is slated to release on April 21.
