Sunny Leone knows that she has a language problem but still agreed to work in ‘Jism 2’, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt said, adding, “She categorically told me that choosing to be a porn star was her personal choice.”
“She is well aware that language could act as a barrier, but is ready to put in that extra effort. She has agreed to do ‘Jism 2’, which will be made under Pooja Bhatt’s banner, ‘Fish Eye Network’. Now they will work out things with Sunny’s agent and sort the nitty-gritties,” the 61-year-old said after his brief visit into the ‘Bigg Boss 5’ house.
Born to a Punjabi family in Ontario, Sunny has appeared in various reality shows in the US, and was named among the world’s top 12 porn stars by fashion magazine, ‘Maxim’, in 2010.
“It was a memorable meeting with Sunny. I loved every bit of my stay in that house. She is such a sweet girl, she is very honest and beautiful – not only physically, but her heart is also very pure and genuine,” Bhatt told IANS over the phone.
“She says things the way they are. I didn’t find her manipulative or hiding behind any fake masks. Very categorically, she told me without any hesitation that choosing her profession (being a porn star) was her personal choice and she has no regrets about it.” Bhatt also said that the 30-year-old is keen to make a mark in Bollywood.
“She is very keen to make a mark in the Hindi film industry. She spoke to me at length and said that in a year she shoots for two adult films, and the rest of the time she wants to work here.” Released in 2003, ‘Jism’ was an unexpected box office success and made debutants John Abraham and Bipasha Basu known names in the film industry.
Sunny, who was born as Karen Malhotra, wants to win Colors’ reality show ‘Bigg Boss 5’. But at the same time, she is concerned about her image, informs Bhatt. “She is very competitive and wants to win the show. She is also very concerned in what light she is being shown, and how people are taking her.
“There was a moment when Sunny and I were talking and suddenly she got very emotional. I touched her head and she was on the verge of crying but managed to control her tears,” he said.
Bhatt also revealed that only two people know about Sunny’s professional reality in the house. The episode showing Mahesh Bhatt’s entry into the house was aired yesterday.
