Ekta Kapoor's mother Shobha Kapoor is not someone who showers anybody with praises so easily. But when she saw the first promo of Lootera she was highly impressed.
She genuinely felt Sonakshi has done an excellent job. Says a source, "Shobhaji loved the promo so much and was so moved by Sonakshi's performance that she wanted to call her up in the middle of the night to bestow praises on her. Ekta had to stop her from calling as it was pretty late in the night".
But the next morning she made the call and told Sonakshi that she reminded her of young Vyjayantimala - a star performer!
