Veteran Actor Shatrughan Sinha, who will be seen in director A.R. Murugadoss's "Akira", says that he is doing the film for his daughter Sonakshi Sinha.
 
"I dare not think of saying no to her. She insisted, and of course, I am also very impressed with the director AR Murugadoss. He personally came to me and I said, 'your wish is my desire and I shall do that'. So yes, I am doing the film for director AR Murugadoss and my daughter Sonkakshi," said Shatrughan.
 
The actor was awarded the "Officer of Legion of the Honor", which is the highest French Civilian Distinction, by the government of France here in Mumbai.
