Sonakshi Sinha, who is geared up to stun the audience with her action-packed avtar for the upcoming film 'Akira', got injured while shooting an action scene for the movie.

Sonakshi shared a throwback photograph of herself, where she is seen with a bruised arm. "Battlescars are meant to be worn with pride! A memento from when I was shooting an action scene for 'Akira'! (Throwback)," Sonakshi tweeted recently.

The film is directed by A.R. Murugadoss, who had previously directed Sonakshi in the successful film 'Holiday'.

'Akira' sees Sonakshi's character coming to Mumbai from Jodhpur, where she gets into a tiff with the goons of a college, in which she enrolls. The film releases on September 2.
