Mumbai: Veteran Actor Shatrughan Sinha, who will be seen in director A R Murugadoss's Akira, said 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 director A R 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 A R Murugadoss and my daughter Sonakshi," said Mr Sinha.

The actor was awarded the Officer of the Legion of Honor , which is the highest French Civilian Distinction, by the government of France, in Mumbai.

Along with him, former Union Minister for Finance & External affairs, Yashwant Sinha, was also honored with the distinction.

Being produced by Fox Star Studios, Akira, a thriller movie, is the Hindi remake of 2011 Tamil hit Mouna Guru and stars Sonakshi Sinha, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anurag Kashyap and Shatrughan Sinha in lead roles.
