One film old Sonakshi Sinha is following up a painstaking exercise schedule to lose weight for her roles in forthcoming films including Joker and Race 2.

Bollywood's latest sensation, who had been quite chubby, decreased her weight for her first flick Dabangg.

This was as suggested by Bollywood hunk Salman Khan, whom Sonakshi considers her adviser.

Sonakshi has hit the gymnasium and has been exercising hard without taking a break.

As per reports, the actress will be seen in the second part of Race.

Director pair Abbas-Mustan wants Sonakshi to look as sizzling as Bips in the original.

Bipasha had a sensational role in Race-part 1, but Sonakshi's previous reports that she wouldn't engage in hot scenes have made audience question how would the actress be a substitution for Basu?

Produced by Ramesh Taurani, Race 2 also features Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham and Deepika Padukone.

Will the role be changed for Sonakshi or will she take back her reports?
