Anurag Kashyap shares new stills of Sunny Leone from Kennedy
With two weeks to go before its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, Anurag Kashyap has posted two new stills of Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone in character from Kennedy. The film will be shown out of competition at the 76th edition in the Midnights Screening Section. Anurag shared the new photographs on Instagram as he began the countdown for the film.
Tagging the cast and crew of the film, he wrote on Instagram, “2 weeks to go! #Kennedy’s countdown to Cannes is on!” The first still features Rahul as Kennedy. He is sitting on a red leather sofa, peeling an apple while smoking. The next still is of Sunny Leone as the character Charlie. She is wearing a black saree while seated on a chaise lounge. Holding a drink in her hand, she seems to be looking off camera at someone else.
Fans of the director began asking for the trailer in the comments section. One fan shared, “Trailer maangta hai apun ko kuch toh footage do (We want the trailer, please share some glimpses from the film).” While others also wondered about the film’s release in India later. They asked, “#cannes ke baad kisi ott me? (After Cannes, which streaming platform will it come on?)” Actor Abhilash Thapliyal added, “Yes we Cannes..!” Kennedy also stars Mohit Takalkar, Abhilash and Megha Burman.
In a statement, Anurag shared, “I’ve lived with the character for a very long time since I was writing for Sudhir Mishra and he used to tell me stories of this mad policeman. Then years later during the lockdown, a headline incident happened in Mumbai and that triggered an idea and I took the cop from Sudhir Mishra’s stories and put him around that incident and Kennedy was born. It’s one of those ones that suddenly comes to you and you write relentlessly till it’s fully formed. Then I was lucky to find people who believed in it as much as I did, and it just happened.” -
Sunny Leone: Some production houses still reluctant to work with me
It’s been a decade since actor Sunny Leone embarked on a journey in Bollywood, opening a new chapter in her life, but there are days when her past life comes back to haunt her. However, she says has learnt not to get bothered by these hiccups. Leaving her career in the adult film industry of the West, Leone started her Bollywood journey with Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2, going on to create a name in the industry, and an empire for herself. “As (compared to the) person who entered the industry in 2012, I am a completely different person from then. And I think for the better. I love being here, I love this industry. I’m happy for all the work that I’ve gotten to do and lots of good choices and lots of bad choices,” Leone says. The 41-year-old continues, “But within those bad choices, good things did come out of it. And there has been a huge learning curve and being able to meet some of the most amazing people and knowing that this is my home. I love every second of it. I had no idea that I would love it as much as I did when I first moved here. I am ever grateful to all the fans who supported me because without them I really would not be here”.

‘Food critic’ Sunny Leone getting distracted by pastry
Sunny Leone, who co-hosts MTV Splitsvilla with Rannvijay Singhaa, shared a behind-the-scenes video from the show’s sets on Instagram. For a day, Sunny Leone doubled up as a food critic, reviewing the spread served for the cast and crew on Splitsvilla sets. Sunny Leone, known for her signature sense of humour, will crack you up with her ROFL comments. She particularly seemed obsessed with the dessert option – pineapple pastry. Sunny began the video with a sad face because: “The pastries are also gone,” she said. Switching on her food critic avatar, Sunny said: “Let’s start from the beginning. I don’t eat meat but… This, people like a lot. It’s fish and it’s almost gone.” Meanwhile, Sunny spotted a plateful of pastries being taken to fill the empty dessert counter and she couldn’t be more excited. Upon learning those are pineapple pastry, she literally hijacked the tray and exclaimed: “Thank you so much!” The moment Sunny realised she got a bit distracted, she gained composure and returned to her food review and said: “They don’t actually need to make steamed rice anymore because nobody is eating it. It’s just gonna go to waste. They like the daal.”

SUNNY WOULD LIKE TO START HIGH-END ‘HIP STREET LINE’
Actress Sunny Leone said she would like to come up with a high-end hip street line that everyone would want to wear. Asked if she would like to invest in a jewellery brand, Sunny said, “Not something I have thought of much and not sure.”
What about her own jewellery line? “If I did want to start something, I would want to start more of a high-end hip street line that everyone would want to wear,” said the ‘Jism 2’ actress.
Talking about her first jewellery piece, she reminisced, “My parents gave me an emerald ring that I begged for. I don’t have it anymore. I lost it because… like they knew I was too young to have something like that. I was a tomboy growing up and they knew that I was too reckless to keep it properly.” But she says her favorite jewellery piece is her wedding band. “It is actually worth next to nothing as far as money goes. But it’s my most precious piece of jewellery because it symbolises something we want in life. A partner to share your journey with and money can’t buy you that,” said the wife of Daniel Weber
