Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone is all set to turn a legal eagle in the upcoming spy thriller, Helen. In a bid to shed her item girl image in Bollywood, the actor has given her nod to Saurabh Choudhary's directorial venture.

Leone is excited to play a lawyer, don the black robes and argue in the courtroom. Says a source, "She is serious about doing different kinds of cinema. The makers are confident that the audience will like Sunny in a de-glam avatar as well."

Says Choudhary, "Sunny is a great actor. She has played different kinds of roles. When I was looking for an actor who can get into the lawyer's garb, I thought Sunny was best suited for it. The thriller will be shot in Mumbai and Mauritius."

The rest of the cast has to be ascertained. Helen is produced by Mukesh Kumar of MKG Films.

Leone was last seen in Tera Intezaar (2017) with Arbaaz Khan as co-star.
