Sunny Leone as a warrior in Tamil debut

Vadivudaiyan, who has directed films like Thambi Vettothi Sundaram, Sowcarpettai and Pottu, is working on his next, and it will mark Sunny Leone's Tamil debut as a heroine.

The filmmaker says, "Pre-production work is going in full swing for this period drama. Sunny will shoulder the entire project. She has given a call sheet of 150 days. We'll train her in sword fighting and horseriding, and are starting the shoot by January. She plays a strong, young warrior!"

Vadivudaiyan adds that Navdeep will be seen as a villain. "It will be a gamechanger in his career," he assures.

This untitled project apparently has 70 minutes of CG work, and the companies that worked on the CG for Baahubali and 2.0 have been roped in. "We'll also get the film released in Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi," says Vadivudaiyan.

Sunny Leone has previously done a dance number in Vadacurry in 2014.
