Sonakshi, 26, is making her debut in Tamil with Lingaa.

"It is Sonakshi's debut in the south and we all are quite fascinated, including Rajinikanth sir, by how she has adapted to the south movies so quickly. Even though it is a completely new language for Sonakshi, she has been pretty quick with the shooting and all the scenes are coming out perfect in the first shot itself," a source from the production team said.

The first shooting schedule of Lingaa, starring Rajinikanth, Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka Shetty and Jagapathy Babu just concluded in Mysore.

The film will have music by A R Rahman.

Directed by K S Ravikumar, the film spans generations and goes from current times to the flashback.
