Veeramadevi is still in progress. The Sunny Leone starrer epic film has been under production for quite some time now. We rarely get updates about it. But today, as a new year begins, the makers of Veeramadevi released a new poster featuring the actress. The poster albeit digitally painted looks interesting. Sunny,  in her costume for the period war film, is standing atop a horde of dead bodies. She is holding two blood-soaked swords. Her armour looks amazing in the hues of red and gold. Did My Own Stunts for First Look of 'Veeramadevi', Says Sunny Leone.

Sunny  Leone's presence will be able to draw the audience to the theatres for sure. Well, she isn't the 48th highest paid actor in India, as per Forbes, for no reason. She certainly is a bankable name. And, to top it off, the premise of the film does looks amazing. Sunny playing the role of a warrior queen - that is so interesting.

On the other hand, the movie might have to face protests from pro-Kannada groups. The movie, despite being months away from a release date faced protests in the past. Kannada Rakshana Vedike Yuva Sena alleged that casting Leone in the movie was an insult to the Indian Queen. The organisation also warned of violent protests if she was not replaced. The organisation’s youth wing president R Harish said that since Sunny used to be a porn star, she should not play a historical character who is an icon and even has many temples dedicated to her.

Sunny Leone was last seen in a cameo in Arjun Patiala and was probably the best thing about the movie. She was also seen in a special appearance in the web-series, Ragini MMS Returns season 2. Interestingly, she also starred in the movie, Ragini MMS 2, years ago.
