The 28-year-old actress has played a lover girl in films like 'Dabangg', 'Rowdy Rathore' and 'Lootera'.

Asked if she is trying to break the "lover girl" image, Sonakshi told IANS: "I think it just happened. It is not something that I have consciously tried. I just think that the roles that came to me were really good and I felt that I could pull off or carry it off and also look convincing while doing this action."

The 'Tevar' actress says she is happy about doing some action-filled roles in the films.

"I have done some thing that I have really enjoyed, so yeah I am very happy about that," she added.

Asked about other details about 'Akira', Sonakshi said: "I think 'Akira' with time...They are just figuring out a release date and I assure you that it will be soon enough and will have all the details that you need."
