The Hindi film Akira (2016) , starring Sonakshi Sinha and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, is an action thriller remake of the Tamil film Mouna Guru
The narrative shifts to Mumbai when Akira moves for college. She unintentionally becomes the target of a corrupt police officer, (played by Anurag Kashyap ), after a chain of events involving stolen money and a incriminating video. Unlike standard hero-centric films, Akira places its protagonist in a harrowing position where she is institutionalized in a mental asylum to silence her, forcing her to fight for her sanity and survival.
