Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has made cameo appearances in films
like ‘Black Friday’, Luck By Chance’, ‘Dev D’, ‘I Am’ and others, but he is
mostly known for his directorial acumen. But actress Sonakshi Sinha said that Anurag
is a “great actor” and she was convincing him to be an actor.
Sonakshi and Anurag will be seen sharing screen space in
their upcoming film ‘Akira’ which will mark the filmmaker’s full-fledged role
as an actor. The ‘shot gun’ girl said she had a good time working with Anurag
who plays a negative character in the film.
"It was very good. I was convincing him to become an
actor. He has fit the role and character so well, you'll connect with him in
that way, because you'll actually be scared when you see him onscreen. He is a
great actor," Sonakshi said interacting with IANS.
Despite being a director, he never interfered with his inputs
in the film, the actress revealed. “He was aware of the fact that he is coming
on the sets in the actor's capacity, so he wouldn't share his ‘tippaniya’. He
was fantastic to work with. He is not interfering at all despite being a
director," she said.
‘Akira’ is a woman-centric film and according to Sonakshi,
the film was physically and emotionally challenging for her. She also trained
in martial arts for a month and a half to prep up for her role in the film.
‘Akira’ is a remake of Santha Kumar’s Tamil film ‘Mouna Guru’
being produced and directed by AR Murugadoss. The film also stars Sonakshi’s
father Shatrughan Sinha, Mithun Chakraborty and Konkona Sen Sharma among
others.
