Mumbai: Sonakshi Sinha will be seen sharing screen space opposite Anurag Kashyap in “Akira” and the actress says she is trying to convince the filmmaker to become a full-time actor.
Sonakshi says the “Bombay Velvet” director, who will be seen in a negative role in the action-drama, will surprise everyone with his performance. “I was convincing him (Kashyap) to become an actor now. He has fit the role, the character so well… You’ll really connect with him in that way. You will actually be scared of him… He’s played the character (in “Akira”) really well. He is a great actor,” Sonakshi said. Asked if the “Dev D” helmer gave her any acting tips, the actress said Kashyap was very clear that he was an actor on set and not a director. “No not actually. He was clear in his head that he was on the set in an actor’s capacity so he won’t give any ‘tips’ … But he is fantastic to work with.” The star said her role in “Akira”, directed by A R Murugadoss, was both emotionally and physically gruelling. “This role was emotionally and physically very gruelling. The scenes that we shot, the places we shot at, I never imagined myself in a situation like that before,” she said. PTI
