Every film finds a home, and Sunny Leone’s Kennedy has found one after a three-year wait. Director Anurag Kashyap’s neo-noir crime thriller is set to premiere on ZEE5 next week, and the actor can’t wait to see the audience’s response to it. After all, Leone considers Kennedy an opportunity of a lifetime. She remembers going into the shoot, eager to be moulded by Kashyap into her character Charlie. Oddly, that included mastering a peculiar laugh.
Recalling Kashyap’s strange demand from her, Leone said, “Anurag sir sent me reference videos of how Charlie’s laugh should be. I saw the videos and thought, ‘How am I going to do this?’ Then I started practising laughing everywhere I went — in the plane, in the car, even mid-conversation with somebody! I remember I was on the set of a song, dressed in glamorous clothes, with 100 dancers around me, and I was practising my laugh!”
