Sunny Leone wraps horror-comedy ‘Chudail’ shoot in UP

Sunny Leone is stepping into unfamiliar territory with her upcoming horror-comedy "Chudail."

Sunny Leone is stepping into unfamiliar territory with her upcoming horror-comedy “Chudail.” The film blends supernatural elements with a distinctly North Indian setting.

The 45-year-old actress takes on a role deep in supernatural territory for this project. She’s set to portray a spirit rumoured to haunt the streets of Bulandshahr.

After an extensive shoot across Uttar Pradesh, reports have now confirmed that Leone has officially wrapped her schedule for the film. The production is said to lean heavily into India’s popular horror-comedy formula.

In the story, Leone’s character will face off against another supernatural force, played by Mandana Karimi. The clash between the two forms a central part of the film’s plot.

According to a source who spoke to Mid-day, the story is set in North India, with Leone playing a spirit haunting Bulandshahr and drawing men toward her. However, her character isn’t your typical menacing witch figure.

As the story unfolds, it’s revealed that her character endured serious injustice during her lifetime. That injustice is what ultimately fuels her desire for revenge in the afterlife.

The production has reportedly relied heavily on visual effects to bring Leone’s transformation to life. Her character shifts from an ordinary, beautiful woman into a spirit with glowing eyes and reversed feet, a detail rooted in South Asian folklore.

With horror and comedy woven throughout, “Chudail” also incorporates music and supernatural drama into its narrative. The combination positions the film as one of Leone’s more unusual and ambitious projects to date.

For an actress often associated with different genres, this marks a notable shift into folklore-driven horror. The blend of comedy and the supernatural gives Leone a chance to explore a character with more emotional depth than a typical genre villain.

Reports suggest “Chudail” is expected to hit theatres toward the end of September. With shooting now complete, attention will likely turn to the film’s post-production and marketing rollout in the coming weeks.
