Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently shooting with Arjun Kapoor for the movie ‘Tevar’, said that she respects her co-star for being a thorough professional.

“He is cordial with everybody. He is not overtly friendly but a very chilled out guy and good to work with," said Sonakshi Sinha to IANS.

“What I really respect and like about him is that he is a good co-star and very professional on the sets and knows what he is doing despite the film being his father's production," added the actress.

Both Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha are star kids- while Arjun is the son of producer Boney Kapoor, Sonakshi is the daughter of actors Poonam and Shatrughan Sinha.

The actress revealed that they studied in the same school and she knew about Arjun Kapoor thanks to his cousins Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor.

“Actually, Arjun and I were in the same school. I knew him because Rhea and Sonam too studied in the same school, so I knew him as their cousin brother, but we were never really friends. Now we are just trying to get to know each other. He is really a good actor and bright fellow,” she concluded.

‘Tevar’ is directed by Amit Sharma and co-produced by Boney Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor.

It is a remake of superhit Telugu movie ‘Okkadu’ that starred superstar Mahesh Babu, Bhoomika Chawla and Prakash Raj.

The Hindi remake will star Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee in roles of Mahesh Babu, Bhoomika Chawla and Prakash Raj respectively.
