Sonakshi Sinha said her actor-politician father Shatrughan Sinha was first offered 1969 film "Ittefaq" but Rajesh Khanna eventually played the lead role in the Yash Chopra-directed movie. Sonakshi said working on the remake was a good opportunity for her as the role helped her ditch the quintessential good girl image that she has in Hindi films. "My dad was supposed to do the original 'Ittefaq' and I am there in the remake version, so it's a big thing for me.
