Mumbai, February 25 – Actress Sunny Leone, in an exclusive conversation with IANS, has shed light on the atmosphere on the set of 'Kennedy', addressing speculation that the film's shoot was marked by complete silence and heavy moods.
Responding to reports of near-silence on the movie set, Sunny clarified that the quiet environment was simply a reflection of professionalism.
"The set was so quiet because it was a professional set, and people weren't whispering. They were focused on their work, which is why they were quiet," she told IANS.
The actress further emphasized that the silence was not negative but rather contributed positively to the entire filming of the movie. "Everyone was deeply engrossed in their work. We also approached our work with full passion and dedication, which left little time for conversation. But I don't think that was a bad thing. I think it actually helped. It helped you focus," she explained.
Actor Rahul Bhatt further noted that such an atmosphere is common on the sets of serious filmmakers. "Every serious director's set is very quiet. There is not much noise. Any serious director's set is very quiet," he added.
Earlier, the actress had shared that she was in disbelief about being part of the film until the day she walked onto the set.
The actress had stated that despite attending the trials and workshops for the Anurag Kashyap directorial, she felt that she wouldn't be a part of the film.
The actress said, "My first reaction was disbelief that I had been offered the role. I didn't 100% believe I was part of the film until I actually got on set. Even though I did the trials and the workshops, and everything happened, we all know that the entertainment industry is very volatile and things can change at the drop of a dime. I was so happy when the first shot was taken and we moved on to the next. That's when I felt, 'Okay, now they won't replace me, I think I did a good job'".
Directed by Anurag Kashyap, 'Kennedy' also stars Rahul Bhat. The film is set to stream on ZEE5 from February 20, 2026.
