Sunny Leone-backed international web series will officially be helmed by Vikramaditya Motwane. The series will reportedly be a biopic, which Leone says left her “inspired”.

In 2023, Sunny Leone added an Anurag Kashyap film to her résumé with Kennedy. Now, she is teaming up with Kashyap’s frequent collaborator and another heavyweight, Vikramaditya Motwane. Earlier this month, Leone and her husband Daniel Weber announced that they are co-producing a biopic with Motwane’s Andolan Films. While the biopic’s subject has been kept under wraps, Leone’s production house Suncity is said to have acquired the rights to the real-life story.
Talking to mid-day about the in-the-works web series, Leone says that the story left her “inspired”. “This story felt unique to me, and it had the scope to be adapted into a web series. From a producer’s standpoint, I felt it would be gripping for the audience to watch the depth and scale of this story,” she says.

Confident that she wanted to bring this real-life story to the screen, Leone next wanted to rope in a storyteller who could further elevate the material. Enter Motwane. “We met several times over the past year to discuss different ideas. When we discovered this biopic, we felt Vikram would connect with it as well. We were all captivated when we heard it. The story is so dynamic and gripping that you’ll be surprised it’s true.”
With Motwane at the helm, will she headline the series? “We can’t say that yet. Right now, production is the focus. We have several great stories in our mind,” says Leone, as Weber adds that they want to develop it as an international web series. He shares, “We are at the beginning. The only challenges so far have been agreements. There will be much more starting now. We’re looking at this as a global project.”
