Cannes 2023: Sunny Leone on ‘Kennedy’ premiere: Can’t take this one away from me
The HinduSunny Leone knows the significance of being in a film that premieres at the Cannes Film Festival, and it's an experience no one can take from her, the film star said on Wednesday, ahead of the sold-out midnight screening of the Indian movie "Kennedy." Once one of the top adult film stars in the United States, Leone was on India's version of the reality television show "Big Brother" before she moved into film, a background that led to perceptions of her that she has had to fight against. And that's why — sorry, this is where I cry — and that's why having this film accepted here is one of the most amazing things," said Leone. Kashyap, one of Bollywood's most influential filmmakers, has presented films at Cannes before in special screenings, including 2012's "Gangs of Wasseypur" and "Ugly" in 2013.
