‘Akira’ came at the right time of my career: Sonakshi

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Sonakshi Sinha will be seen packing punches and doing hardcore action sequences in her upcoming “Akira” and the actress says the film came at the right time in her career as she wanted to push her limits as a performer. The action-thriller is directed by A R Murugadoss, who is known for his commercial potboilers, starring leading actors.

The 29-year-old actress says she is overwhelmed that she got a chance to become the “Ghajini” helmer’s first leading lady as he has never made a film with a female protagonist before. “‘Akira’ pushed me in lot of ways that I have not been pushed before. It has been very challenging and it has been a fantastic experience.

I’m really happy that it came to me at this point of time in my life and career when I was looking to do something like that,” Sonakshi told. The actress says Murugadoss thought she would fit the role of Akira Sharma during the making of 2014 Akshay Kumar starrer “Holiday.”
