Bhopal, April 6: After creating and refuting many controversies on popular shows like MTV’s ‘Splitsvilla’ and Colors’ ‘Bigg Boss’, Sakshi Pradhan is back in the news again.
Sakshi has been reportedly signed in to do a Hindi film by director Hemant Dasgupta. So far so good, but Sakshi claims that the movie is apparently going to be shot in one day only. This is an experimental film and Sakshi is positively sure that it is going to create waves in the Bollywood industry as nothing of this sort has ever been attempted before.
