Cricketer-actor Sreesanth is all set to star in a Bollywood film titled Patta, directed and scripted by R Radhakrishnan. Now, we have exclusively learnt that the project will also have Sunny Leone playing a major role.

The director reveals, “Sreesanth is playing a CBI officer in the film and his investigation will lead to a subject that interests women. We felt those portions should be presented through a powerful female character and felt Sunny Leone would be apt for the role.”

Radhakrishnan confesses he wasn’t initially sure if Sunny would be interested in taking this up. “Her character, Anjali, is very different from everything she has done so far, and there is also an element of risk in it. But she said yes soon after we discussed it with her and now, she is prepping for her part. I believe it is great that we are getting to convey an important subject through a powerful woman on screen,” he says.

The film is an investigative political thriller and also has renowned Gujarati artiste Bimal Trivedi in an important role.
