Last month, we had told you that cricketer-actor
Sreesanth is all set to star in a Bollywood film titled Patta, directed and scripted by R Radhakrishnan.
Now, we have exclusively learnt that the project will also have
Sunny Leone playing a major role.
The director reveals, “Sreesanth is playing a
CBI officer in the film and his investigation will lead to a subject that interests women.
We felt those portions should be presented through a powerful female character. We wanted to rope in an internationally renowned artiste for the same, and felt
Sunny Leone would be apt for the role.”
Radhakrishnan confesses he wasn’t initially sure if Sunny would be interested to take up this. “Her character, Anjali, is very different from everything she has done so far, and there is also an element of risk in it. But she said yes soon after we discussed it with her and now, she is prepping for her part. I believe it is great that we are getting to convey an important subject through a powerful woman on screen,” he says.
The film is an investigative political thriller and also has renowned Gujarati artiste
Bimal Trivedi in an important role.
