Meena Kumari biopic: Sunny Leone to play the life of legendary actress
A biopic on the life of legendary actress aka tragedy queen Meena Kumari will be played by none other than Sunny Leone. For a long time Vidya Balan's name was attached to it but after she turned down the role, it is Sunny Leone who has bagged the film. "I narrated her something but at the moment she is wanting to do something that's non-serious. She has had too much of serious stuff. We spoke at length. Maybe tomorrow, I may have that kind of a script for her. But at the moment, I wanted her to play the role of an actress of the 1960s. The film dealt with alcoholism and tragedy," said filmmaker Karan Razdan. When asked about going with an unconventional choice in Sunny Leone, he said, I think the only one, who is courageous enough and said to me, 'When can we start this film?', has been Sunny Leone. I have narrated it to Madhuri and Vidya but it didn't work out for one reason or the other. Sunny came along, she said she had heard about this film and wanted me to narrate it. I met her at her house, had a long narration. I don't know... She is not the ideal choice, I would say. But she was the most enthusiastic about doing the role. I guess, she also saw this as her big chance. -PTC News
