Mumbai, February 18 – Actress Sunny Leone, who is preparing for the release of her upcoming streaming film ‘Kennedy’, has revealed that she was initially in disbelief about being a part of the film until she actually walked onto the set.
The actress shared that, despite attending the auditions and workshops for Anurag Kashyap’s directorial project, she felt that she wouldn’t be 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 auditions and the workshops, and everything happened, we all know that the entertainment industry is very volatile, and things can change at a moment’s notice. I was so happy when the first shot was taken and we moved on to the next scene. That’s when I felt, ‘Okay, now they won’t replace me, I think I did a good job’.”
When asked about the scene that emotionally stayed with her long after the filming wrapped, she said, “I think the scene that stayed with me is when Charlie is in a hotel room waiting for the officer. She’s scared, upset, and doesn’t want to be there, but she knows what’s going to happen. The transition from her in the bathroom to putting on that Charlie smile is something that I believe many of us can relate to. Sometimes we have to go through situations where we put on a smile just to get through the day, night, or moment, and that’s not always easy.”
“I love this type of film. There are so many different layers to it. It makes you think and is provocative in a thoughtful way. It really makes you listen to the words and the dialogues in the film – what people are talking about and how that relates to my world. That’s what’s so amazing about shooting in this noir universe,” she added.
Directed by Anurag Kashyap, ‘Kennedy’ also stars Rahul Bhat. The film is set to stream on ZEE5 from February 20, 2026.
