In "Force 2", directed by Abhinay Deo, John reprises the character of ACP Yashvardhan and Sonakshi plays a RAW agent.
"I was excited that I would get a chance to do action with him. On the day of shoot for "Force 2", John saw "Akira" and he liked the action that I did in the film. He asked Abhinay Deo to incorporate me in the action sequences. I have taken this as a compliment," Sonakshi told reporters here at the song launch event of "Force 2".
"It is a coincidence that I got to do two back-to-back action films. I loved both the films and my role was fantastic. Both the films have different kind of action. I like seeing action on screen," she said.
"I am happy doing action in both the films. There were no different treatment from action directors. Hopefully things will get better for heroines to do action in films," she said.
