The 2003 film starred John and Bipasha, but this time with much fanfare Mahesh Bhatt walked into the Bigg Boss house to "offer" Sunny Leone the role. The adult star though in her heart of hearts is not impressed.
Said a source close to Sunny Leone on condition of anonymity, "Privately, Sunny is not very happy with the role. She has had enough of nudity to last not just one lifetime but several lifetimes. Her life in Canada and the US is different.
In India, Sunny would like to shed her nude adult porn star image and do main line Bollywood cinema. Sunny wants to try her hand at Hindi movies not nudity and flesh show. She has had enough of all that. Bollywood films has always been Sunny's dream as a kid growing up in Canada.
She always wanted to be some sort of a Madhuri Dixit in Bollywood, but fate took her elsewhere. Now given a chance, she would like to make her dream come true," a close aide of Sunny Leone.
Even Sunny Leone was quoted to an Indian friend saying, "If I want to do nude and stuff, there is enough scope for me in Hollywood. As such the Indian Censor Board will not allow any nudity."
Given Indian laws on nudity and obscentity and the long-drawn out judicial and legal system in India, Sunny Leone's international managers and advisors are skeptical of the adult actress' foray into Indian cinema. They are worried about her having to spend her time doing the rounds of Indian court rooms instead of studios.
An associate of Sunny Leone's US agent said, "It's nice that Indian producers are offering Sunny Bollywood films, but we hope she is not offered only nude roles. The legal system in India is very tiring and we are worried about Sunny having to make trips to Indian courts, should her images in an Indian film offend the sensibilities of a certain segment of Indian viewers."
