    The women centric film that went on floors recently is apparently an action thriller where Sonakshi plays the title role of Akira. What might not come as a major delight to fans is that the two do not have any scenes together. A source close to the production revealed, "When Murugadoss approached Shatruji, the actor was told he played the film's lifeline. Shatruji plays Sonakshi's father in Akira. But his character dies while Sonakshi's character is a still a child. So all of Shatruji's scenes are with the child actor playing Sonakshi's childhood avatar. Later in the film Shatruji's voice serves as a guiding force in Sonakshi's life. But they never come together face-to-face”.

    Shatrughan reportedly isn’t very happy with such setting and is pitching in to come together with Sonakshi for at least one scene. "Shatruji feels there should be at least one sequence featuring Sonakshi and him together. Efforts are on to write such a scene into the script," the source added.
