In 2023, Sunny Leone added an Anurag Kashyap film to her résumé with Kennedy. Now, she is teaming up with Kashyap’s frequent collaborator and another heavyweight, Vikramaditya Motwane. Earlier this month, Leone and her husband Daniel Weber announced that they are co-producing a biopic with Motwane’s Andolan Films. While the biopic’s subject has been kept under wraps, Leone’s production house Suncity is said to have acquired the rights to the real-life story.    

Talking to mid-day about the in-the-works web series, Leone says that the story left her “inspired”. “This story felt unique to me, and it had the scope to be adapted into a web series. From a producer’s standpoint, I felt it would be gripping for the audience to watch the depth and scale of this story,” she says.
