Sunny Leone is slated to become the first Bollywood actress to launch her personal non-fungible tokens (NFTs), putting her ahead of the pack of Indian actors who are gravitating toward digital products. Sunny Leone, alongside superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who previously expressed interest in NFT, is among the first Indian actors to do so. Ellen Degeneres, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan are just a few of the famous celebrities who have dabbled in NFT.
For those unfamiliar with NFTs, they are one-of-a-kind digital-native tokens that are being used to symbolize ownership of digital products like photographs, videos, texts, or songs. On blockchain networks, the ownership and trading of all these virtual goods can be monitored, providing sufficient authenticity.
Sunny Leone will debut her NFTs, a series of hand-picked artworks which will be sold through her website, sunnyleonenft.com. When asked why she made the decision, she said, “I really believe crypto is the future of the world and NFTs give me an opportunity to express myself with art and be able to essentially make each NFT its own unique token which is really exciting. Each one of my NFTs will be 100% unique from one another and will have different levels of rarity. We’ll have rare NFT’s, super rare NFTs, and even Ultra rare NFTs. Each NFT will be able to be used later in the future to unlock content and maybe even experiences with me.”
Sunny Leone has joined forces with Mintdropz to develop her own NFT Platform. Bringing attention to her collaboration with Mindtropz, she adds, “We’re breaking ground again by partnering with Mintdropz to launch our own NFT Platform so we can give our fans a whole world like experience that goes beyond just NFT’s, where my fans will be able to use their NFT’s to unlock content and experiences with me. It’s important to me that we create an NFT collection that lives longer than just a 1-time release. We’re building something way bigger. We are partnering with Mintdropz because they’re a creator-first platform that is going to help us create experiences on the blockchain with NFT’s and building out my own world. With Mintdropz, we have our own NFT platform that will allow us to be able to connect with my audience and deliver them so many different experiences to engage with my audience that other platforms just can’t provide.”
Acknowledging that the plan to purchase in NFT stemmed from a desire to leave an indelible mark, Leone says, “I wanted to deliver an experience where I can express myself with art and also be able to give my fans ownership in this new crypto space that is really changing how I can engage with my fans.” It’s worth noting that Leone is among the few Bollywood actors who have patented herself.
Although Amitabh Bachchan’s NFT auction going to take place only during the first week of November, Leone has a head start in the sector in terms of seeing the business’s tremendous potential. “Crypto’s and NFT’s are the future and I feel proud to be able to bring the future to India and the rest of the world and make history and deliver an NFT that my fans can own and even resell. What I care about most is that we are making the first NFT collection from a Bollywood star and that is exactly why we are going so far to make every piece of art completely original and unique for each person who buys an NFT.”
The actress remained tight-lipped about partners and the amount of art pieces set to be auctioned, although she did reveal, “We will announce more close to our release and we will announce it on our discord channel. Right now, we are focussed on working with amazing artists from around the globe to put together a collection that will blow you away with its nuance and detail. Each NFT is animated by hand, from the costumes to the backgrounds. You will be able to buy our NFT directly from SunnyLeoneneft.com and all you need is some Ethereum and a metamask wallet. Have your crypto ready, they won’t be available for long!”
