Sunny Leone to play an actress in Sonakshi Sinha’s Noor

This will be the first time that the “Dabangg” actress will be sharing screen space with Sunny.

“It was fun shooting for ‘Noor’ along with Sonkashi and I wish the team all the very best,” Sunny said in a statement.

Directed by Sunhil Sippy, “Noor” will have Sonakshi essay a journalist. The film also stars Shibani Dandekar, Kanan Gill and Purab Kohli.

Sonakshi — who will be seen essaying the role of a journalist in the upcoming film — shared the news via Twitter on Friday night. “The date is set! Noor arrives on April 7, 2017. Life is good; I’ve got my glow on. Yay, Noor the film!” she tweeted.

The film is an adaptation of the Pakistani novel Karachi, You’re Killing Me! written by journalist and author Saba Imtiaz. It follows the life of a 20-year-old named Ayesha Khan, living in Karachi and working as a news reporter.

In the meantime, Sonakshi is busy promoting Akira, directed by AR Murugadoss. She has also lent her voice to a song for the film. In an earlier interview,she explained how the song Rajj Rajj Ke is about rage and how she – the lead character – does not stay silent but fights back. “It was a very spur of the moment thing and honestly, all my rehearsals happened while shooting the video”. Sonakshi shared that Leone will play actress in ‘Noor’
