Kashyap has done a cameo in films such as "Dev D", "Luck By Chance", "I Am", "Trishna" and "Happy New Year" but the Sonakshi Sinha-starrer will see him doing a full-fledged negative role.
Thanking AR Murugadoss and Sonakshi for the wonderful experience, he tweeted, "I am so proud of my work in #Akira even though I was reluctant, to begin with. Thank you @ARMurugadoss and @sonakshisinha."
Kashyap, 43, plays a police officer in the movie. He further praised the director, saying he will always cherish their friendship.
"You are an amazing person and so enthusiastic and childlike... I cherish this friendship @ARMurugadoss," Kashyap tweeted.
