The "Dabangg" actress took to micro-blogging site Twitter, and shared: "My first day of shoot today for @ARMurugadoss sirs film! Cant wait to be in front of the camera!! Super charged up...Wish me luck."
The film will also feature Sonakshi's father and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha in an important role. It will be produced by Fox Star Studios and is the official remake of Tamil sleeper hit "Mounaguru".
Along with the daughter-father duo, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has been roped in to play the baddie in the film.
The rest of the cast hasn't been finalised for Murugadoss's third venture in the language after "Ghajini" and "Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty".
