Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently shooting for her film "Akira", says she has broken her own record by reaching the set very early.
The "Dabangg" actress, who is also judging the TV show "Indian Idol Junior" took to Twitter and seemed ecstatic as she reached the set 20 minutes early when nobody was present.
"Breaking my own records! Was up to reach shoot at 7:30 and here I am 20 minutes earlier. Not another soul on set. Reached Thane in 30 minutes," Sonakshi tweeted on Tuesday.
Being produced by Fox Star Studios, "Akira" is a thriller directed by A.R. Murugadoss.
The film is the Hindi remake of 2011 Tamil hit "Mounaguru" and also stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Anurag Kashyap and Shatrughan Sinha.
