The social media lover Sonakshi Sinha recently posted a picture of her bruised arm, a throwback of sorts from the sets of Akira, on her Instagram page saying, "Nope, i dint tattoo the map of USA on my arm. That is an actual bruise from shooting action for #Akira. From kicking ass. Black and blue for real. Bruised and battered but never given up. (Its gone now dont worry) #nopainnogain #battlescars #toughgirl #bossgirl #throwback." While she has already wrapped the shoot of the film, the recently released trailer did fetch some good reviews for the actress.

Directed by A R Murugadoss, Akira also stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Anurag Kashyap, Amit Sadh in prominent roles and is slated to release on September 2.
