The last time Sunny Leone came to Kerala, she brought Kochi traffic to a standstill, literally. The actress is set to thrill Malayali fans again, this time at Thiruvananthapuram.

Sunny Leone will be performing on May 26 at the Indian Dance Biennale, an event that will see over 250 professional dancers performing more than 35 dance forms. The three-hour 'dance marathon' will be held at Sports Hub, International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. Dadu Oshma is the creative director of the event. Sunny Leone had earlier taken to Facebook herself to announce the event.

Besides Sunny Leone, fans will get to see performances by actress Shamna Kasim and dancer Paris Lakshmi.

Sunny had visited Kochi last year to inaugurate a mobile phone retail showroom. The massive turnout of fans on one of the major roads of the city, just to catch a glimpse, took even the police by surprise. Hundreds of male fans clambered over barricades and even metro pillars to catch a glimpse of Sunny Leone. The police had to resort to cane charge to restrain frenzied fans.

Floored by the response, Sunny Leone posted a picture of the crowd and captioned it: “No words...Can't thank the people of Kochi. Was so overwhelmed by the love & support. Never will forget Gods own Country Kerala! Thank you(sic)”.

This time, fans in Kerala will get a chance to watch her perform, and this is is surely the icing on the cake.

On the work front, Sunny Leone is set to make her debut as a leading lady in Veermadevi in which she plays the titular character. A period drama, this would be Sunny’s debut project as a heroine in Tamil. The film is set to release in five languages – Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.
