Sonakshi is the daughter of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha and actress Poonam Sinha. Shukla says he has been approached by the Sinha family's banner for the movie.
"Sonakhi did an item number for my film 'OMG - Oh My God!' and we are very good friends. I share a very good relationship with her family. Sonakshi will play the lead in my film for sure," he added.
Take a look at the two Bollywood films being released on September, 28, 2012.

Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal's chemistry in the promos look interesting. Popular Kannada actress Nidhi Subbaiah is also said to be a part of the film.
The film has been jointly produced by Ashvini Yardi, Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal.
Director Priyadarshan's comedy film 'Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal' is also being released in September 28, 2102.

Umesh Shukla, director of \'OMG\', has been approached to helm a family drama with Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.
Shukla says the project will be 'a family drama and issue-based'.
"They approached me to make a film for them and they are looking for some good content. It will be a light-hearted project," he added.
But considering that Sonakshi's brother Luv too is an actor, roping in the entire Sinha family is not on Shukla's mind.
"I will not do that (rope in all family members). It all depends on the script. Just to get the family together, I will not cast them. It should justify the role. So let's see how things fall in place," he said.
