The movie’s lead actress Sonakshi Sinha has featured in a string of hit films during her career. The movies include Dabangg, Dabangg 2, Rowdy Rathore and AR Murgadoss’s earlier superhit ‘Holiday’. Though her film Lootera was not a commercial success, it garnered Sonakshi enough critical acclaim and a nomination at the Filmfare awards.
Konkona Sen Sharma in “Akira”
The film also stars the super talented actress Konkona Sen Sharma as she plays a central character in this movie. Konkona is an acclaimed actress and made her debut in the movie ‘Mr. and Mrs. Iyer’ which was directed by Aparna Sen, Konkona’s mother. Page 3 was another super hit movie that Konkona starred in and it was followed by movies like Omkara, Wake up Sid and Life in a Metro.
Anurag Kashyap in “Akira”
Noted Director Anurag Kashyap plays the antagonist in Akira. He has directed many critically acclaimed movies and short films which include Gangs of Wasseypur, Black Friday and has co-produced hit movies like Queen and NH10.
Reasons for big expectations from Akira
The film has tremendous potential to make its mark at the box office in theatres, nationally and internationally due to a cracking storyline and a no-nonsense star cast. Shatrughan Sinha is returning to the silver screen after a long time and his fans would surely be awaiting his return eagerly especially since he is going to be seen with his daughter for the first time.
Director AR Murgadoss made a sensational entry into Hindi cinema with the Aamir Khan starrer ‘Ghajini’ which caught the public fancy due to Aamir’s action scenes and the awesome body he built for the movie. ‘Holiday- A soldier is never off duty’ was his next super hit movie starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi. With such a talented director managing affairs, Akira will surely create a sensation at the box office and bring back the bucks for the producer and acclaim for the actors.
