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 on Wednesday.

The film is directed by A.R. Murugadoss, who had previously directed Sonakshi in the film "Holiday", which was a success at the box office.

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

'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.

'Akira' releases on September 2.
