Sunny Leone: Lesser known facts

According to a Mid-day report, an FIR has been lodged against Sunny Leone in Surat. Sunny Leone was in Surat to promote her upcoming film, Ek Paheli Leela. Her presence in the country's diamond hub resulted in chaos and the venue had to be shifted at the last minute. Apparently, a local, who felt that the former adult star was in the city for a different motive, filed an FIR against her. The reason behind the chaos was attributed to her topless snapshots from a private party that had gone viral last April. Buzz was that it was a bash hosted by a Surat-based diamond merchant on the Mumbai-Pune highway. A source has been quoted in the report as saying that the event was shifted from a five-star hotel to another place. Sunny had flown from Mumbai to Baroda and then reached Surat by road. Fearing trouble, the local organisers reportedly cancelled the original venue at the last minute and shifted the promotions to another hotel.

According to a report on IANS, the makers of Sunny Leone's Ek Paheli Leela have claimed that many actors refused to be a part of the film as Sunny had already been signed on to play the lead role of Leela. The director of the film, Bobby Khan has been quoted in the report as saying that, "Many big actors and known faces were approached for the film. They loved the script, but they refused it because Sunny belongs from the adult film industry. It was very sad that many actors refused to do this film." The director further added that Sunny was very sad due to this. He said, "Her past life was her choice, but in India, people's thinking is still like that...Many actors refused the film... Sunny felt bad and Daniel (Sunny's husband Daniel Weber) told me, 'Next time if you see an actor, I will come with you as I want to tell them that please work with my wife as she is very professional'. I felt very sad." Now the director wants Sunny to get an image makeover of sorts with his film as he claims that the character she plays is a very strong one.
