She was also rumoured to play one of the three female leads in Thala 57, thereby making her Kollywood acting debut. The news has now been confirmed as the actress has signed the dotted line. Akshara will be seen as an Interpol Officer in this cop action thriller alongside Ajith. Apart from her, the cast also has Kajal Agarwal as the lovelady for the actor in the role of his homely wife.
As for Akshara's role, it is action-oriented and as a partner Interpol agent to Thala. Now that she is on board, the team is yet to finalise the third heroine.
