We’ve seen Sunny Leone set temperatures soaring on screen with her oomph factor, but in her upcoming Telugu film ‘Veeramahadevi’, she is touted to set the screen on fire with her daredevilry. The actress plays a warrior princess in the film, which requires her to perform some high-octane action sequences. Sunny recently visited Chennai, where she prepped for the part by undertaking lessons in horse riding. Says Sunny, “I’ve always loved taking up challenging projects and a fantasy action film was right up there on my to-do list. It also helps that my character is of a strong and independent woman. I have learnt the English way of riding a horse, which is relatively more poised, but for this film, I have to gallop the horse with 50 more behind me, which is challenging.”
Meanwhile, it’s not just Sunny who is rocking it by learning something new. Prachi Desai is also busy striking a different note. The actress is learning to play the guitar for her next, ‘Kosha’, in which she plays a rock star. And guess who got to sample her new talent first-hand? Her family. Prachi took her folks by surprise at a cousin’s wedding as she strummed the guitar and sang a few songs as well, including one from her upcoming film. She told us, “I have always wanted to learn the guitar. Fortunately, the film I am shooting for gave me that opportunity. It was fun breaking into an impromptu gig at my cousin’s wedding.”
