Sunny Leone, who has become a mainstream Bollywood actress after appearing in Bigg Boss reality show and a number of item songs, will now be seen as a superwoman of the tinsel town.
After announcing in April that they were launching their own home banner, Leone and her husband, Daniel, have confirmed recently that the Indo-Canadian actress will appear as a superwoman in their first production.
According to Mumbai Mirror, the couple has wrapped up the pre-production of their upcoming film, a superhero drama with Leone playing the superwoman. The film is yet to be titled.
“It’s a super badass character!” Leone was quoted as saying. “She’s everything I am and a little that we’ve made up,” she added.
While the couple already has a production house in Los Angeles, in India it will be a different one, which will only focus on producing full-length Bollywood films, the report said.
“We shoot first, with me in an eyeball-grabbing superhero outfit, a bright cape and special powers. Then, we bring out a comic book series revolving around my character as well as other merchandise. We are spinning the story from scratch – from the superwoman’s back-end story to how she came to possess her powers, like they do in the Marvel cinematic universe. It’s something Bollywood has not fully explored,” the actress reportedly said.
While the actress did not reveal if the superwoman flies in the film, she confessed that there would be a lot of action sequences.
Leone admitted that while she loved Samurais, whom she termed as the real superheroes, her husband Daniel admired Batman more because of his dark and dangerous past and evolutionary storyline of the superhero films.
The last project Leone completed shooting was is an action movie titled “Tina and Lolo” played alongside Karishma Tanna.
