Sonakshi Sinha keen to act in sports-based film

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, who will be seen in a gutsy role in upcoming action drama "Akira", is now enthused to feature in a sports-based movie.

"I was very active in sports during my school and college days. I used to participate in volleyball, basketball, swimming, shot put, discus throw... I was a good player.

"So, of course, if I get a chance, I will surely do a sports film," Sonakshi said here while promoting "Akira" on the set of "Savdhaan India".

She also said she misses indulging in sports, but tries to make time for tennis or volleyball once in a while.

"I hope if I get a role, I will do that (on screen)," she added.

Her film "Akira" is a remake of Tamil film "Mouna Guru" and is directed by A.R. Murugadoss. The film is set to hit theatres on September 2.

Besides that, she is also filming for "Noor" and "Force 2".
