“Anamika is 2.0 version of myself,” Sunny Leone on her upcoming streaming show Anamika

Sunny Leone, who has been missing from the screen for quite some time, will shortly be seen in the upcoming web series Anamika. Helmed by Vikram Bhatt, the series has given the actress the opportunity to prove her acting mettle as well as tap into her favorite genre of action-drama.

Talking to a newswire, Leone said, “This is a very special show for me and I am really emotionally attached to Anamika. As an audience, I love watching action-drama shows and this web series has given me a chance to do both. Even though personally I am not like Anamika at all, doing those action sequences was quite exciting. This show is like the 2.0 version of myself.”

The actress went on to add that Vikram Bhatt was one of the reasons she came onboard the series. “One of the reasons why I got so excited about the show was Vikram sir. I am not a trained actress but Vikram sir has really nurtured me as an actress. Anamika is a character that sir has visualised and from body language, expression to how to create a character from script to screen, sir has taught me everything. Earlier I was little trained in action but during the workshop for this show, I learned how to imbibe things into my body language,” she said.

“The fighting was the combination of different martial art forms, as well as street fights, karate etc. How to mix these forms to build the body language of a character was a huge learning for me,” she said in conclusion.

Also starring Samir Soni, Sonnalli Seygall, Rahul Dev, Shehzad Shaikh, Ayaz Khan, Anamika is scheduled to release on MX Player on March 10.
