From skepticism to serenity on set—that’s Sunny Leone’s ‘Kennedy’ story. The actress, stepping into Anurag Kashyap’s internationally lauded film, battled constant replacement fears despite greenlighting every step.
‘Kennedy,’ a Cannes 2023 standout with festival accolades worldwide, features Sunny as the enigmatic Charlie. ‘Shocked by the offer, I disbelieved my inclusion till the end,’ she recounted.
Workshops and huddles couldn’t dispel the dread. ‘Industry shifts are brutal; last-second changes are common,’ Sunny explained. Only filming her debut scene quelled the storm.
‘The first shot’s approval was euphoric—proof of their faith,’ she said.
A standout moment: Charlie’s hotel anticipation, masking fear with a smile post-bathroom. ‘Emotionally taxing, mirroring life’s facades amid pain.’
This revelation underscores Sunny’s resilience. With ‘Kennedy’ streaming soon, audiences await her nuanced portrayal in Kashyap’s intense drama, cementing her Bollywood legitimacy.
