Sonakshi travels in local train for 'Akira' (Movie Snippets)

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently juggling between judging the TV show "Indian Idol Junior" and the shoot of her upcoming movie "Akira", says the last time she travelled by a local train here was when she was in college.

The "Dabangg" actress took to micro-blogging website Twitter, where she shared: "Last time I travelled by local train was in college. And today for #AKIRA! The only difference is then it used to be crowded, now almost empty."

Being produced by Fox Star Studios, "Akira" directed by A.R. Murugadoss is a thriller.

The film is the Hindi remake of 2011 Tamil hit "Mounaguru" and stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Anurag Kashyap and Shatrughan Sinha in lead roles.

"Akira" marks Murugadoss's third Hindi venture after back-to-back hits "Ghajini" and "Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty"
