Actor Sunny Leone is in Cannes for her debut at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. The actor is there with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and actor Rahul Bhat for the premiere of their film Kennedy. While she is all ‘anxious’ about her debut at the red carpet of the prestigious event, Sunny knows she has ‘earned’ her place at the prestigious film festival.
Before making her red carpet appearance at Cannes Film Festival, Sunny sat down for a chat with film journalist Anupama Chopra and told her how she never imagined in her ‘wildest dreams’ that she will come so far in her career.
“It’s beyond my wildest dreams; coming to India, being a part of Bigg Boss, being part of films, people saying so many awful, horrible things… trying to push past those things, look at the positive, trying to break barriers and break people’s stereotypes they have of me or what I’ll be like or who I am, I have earned to be in this film. I auditioned for this. Someone said, ‘Yes, you are good enough to be in this’,” said Sunny.
She added that her journey has ‘definitely’ not been easy and “Only I, my husband, and my team know what I have gone through.”
Sunny’s performance in Kennedy is being discussed widely ever since the trailer of the film has released. The actor shared that in the movie, she has finally got to act and do things she wanted to do with her character, an opportunity she was never given before.
Sharing her experience of working in Kennedy with Anurag Kashyap, Sunny said, “The difficult part was I wanted to, in my mind, meet up the mark of some of the people he (Kashyap) has worked with, the actors he has worked with.” She also revealed that Kashyap told her about what he expects from her character, which was a rarity for her as no director ever did that.
“He told me the mannerisms he wants from the character and that is something a director has never asked me to do. Either I had to come up with them or ask them…so many different things I wanted to do in different films but they didn’t come true because of ‘different’ requirements of people I worked with,” Sunny said.
The actor shared pictures of herself from the French Rivera and wrote on Instagram, “Amazing first day @festivaldecannes doing interviews for #kennedy. Thank you @ilya.vanzato for making me feel beautiful.” On the first day, she wore a green gown and kept her look minimalistic.
