The Sunny Leone biopic is exclusively available for streaming on ZEE5...
The much awaited biopic of Sunny Leone titled Karenjit Kaur - The Untold Story of Sunny Leone is now streaming exclusively on ZEE5. The Sunny Leone biopic is available in the format of a web series. The first season has 10 episodes which narrate the goings on in the life of Karenjit Kaur Vohra between the years 2003 to 2013 approx.
The biopic chronicles the journey of Sunny Leone, from a girl-next door, who goes on to become a porn star, becomes a brand in herseld and later ends up becoming a Bollywood actress. A journey with so many crests and troughs definitely warrants a biopic and who better to play the protagonist than the person about who it is made? So Sunny Leone plays herself in her own biopic which is directed by Aditya Datt.
