was filed in
Chennai against
actor Sunny
Leone, who was
scheduled to take
part in an event
on Saturday. A
social activist,
who has been
identified as Emi
alias Enoch Moses,
registered his
complaint at the
Nazarathpet
police station
alleging she was
promoting
po*nography.'
Sunny was visiting the city to take part in a
dance event arranged on the outskirts. It is
not the first time Sunny is facing such a
situation. Last December, her scheduled visit
to Bengaluru also courted a major
controversy. The pro-Kannada groups held
a series of protests demanding to ban
Sunny from taking part in an event planned
on New Year's eve. They alleged that her
visit to the city posed a threat to the
Kannada culture. Giving in to the demands
of the pro-Kannada activists, the
performance was eventually cancelled.
Currently, Sunny is also shooting for her
upcoming Tamil film Veeramadevi, which
went on the floors earlier this week in
Chennai. The film, which will also release in
Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, is
bankrolled by Ponse Stephen and will
feature Navdeep as an antagonist.
Sunny has been part of several south Indian
films in the past. She has made brief
appearances in Telugu, Kannada films,
mostly in special song sequences.
Veeramadevi, a period film, will be her first
full-length role in a film that is being made
down south.
Director VC Vadivudayan is said to be
making Veeramadevi on a lavish budget.
The filmmakers said the film will also have
top-notch visual effects.
