Sonakshi Sinha breaks bones and throws punches in Akira

Akira is a movie of a different kind. Directed by A R Murugadoss, its cast includes Sonakshi Sinha, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anurag Kashyap, Amit Sadh. It unleashes the actor in Sonakshi Sinha.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 2 September 2016.

Akira, in Sanskrit, means graceful strength and Sonakshi Sinha goes about fighting violence against women as well as cliches of how actresses in Bollywood are supposed to be. She plays the role of a college student from a dysfunctional family. She is short on temper and quick to let her fists do the talking and is, in short, a misfit in her small town.
Her parents send her off to Mumbai in the fond hope that the big city will calm her down. But, she just cannot handle violence against women and wrongs of any kind. Therefore, she finds herself in a mess where she is pitted against Anurag Kashyap’s corrupt, coke-snorting police officer. However, she throws the punches - unlike male heroes like a Khan or a Kumar and beat the baddies to a pulp.
Sonakshi Sinha must give her audience more of the actor inside her instead of the pretty girl dancing with the star of the moment.
