The duo took to Twitter to reveal the title. Sonakshi posted a picture of herself holding the film slate. "Say hello to #AKIRA. My new name and new film. @ARMurugadoss," she tweeted.
"The title of my film with @sonakshisinha is #AKIRA which means "graceful strength" in Sanskrit," the director wrote.
"Akira" will be the 27-year-old actress' first woman-oriented movie.
