During her visit to Kochi last year, Sunny Leone famously brought the city to a standstill. It may be time for Kerala residents to brace themselves again as the actor is set to foray into Malayalam cinema. While rumours about her Malayalam debut have been doing the rounds since August, Leone confirms to mid-day that she has greenlit the Santosh Nair-directed slice-of-life film, Rangeela.
