Directed by filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss, "Akira" released on Friday. The film minted Rs 5.15 crore on day one and Rs 5.30 crore on day two.
Presented by Fox Star Studios, "Akira" brought Sonakshi and Murugadoss together once again on the big screen. He had previously directed Sonakshi in the film "Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty", which was a success at the box office.
