Sunny Leone may have said it for the umpteenth time that her Bollywood entry has got nothing to do with altering her porn star image, but the Indian audience is well equipped to “read between the lines”. Aren’t we guys? The much controversial international adult star has already created an uproar in our Hindi film industry, so much so, that even before her film (Jism 2) hits the big screen, movie lovers would have done their share of research and put their curiosity to rest – some with great expectations and the rest, with preset notions. Phew!

It all began when Sunny entered controversial reality show Bigg Boss 5 and left small screen viewers wondering and guessing about her true identity (read porn star). And then there were rumours that she might be the new ‘it’ girl in Bollywood, which were followed by official news that she has signed Jism 2 under Bhatt banner. Thereafter, she’s been quite active on micro blogging site twitter and she’s even been posting her private photos on the site to please her burgeoning (or already existing) fan following, specially in India.

What surprises me even more is how school and college students and even middle-aged men, who had never heard of this international star, went that extra mile to know more about her on the internet. Not only men, even women wanted to know about this latest hot entrant that men were drooling over. If this wasn’t enough, Sunny’s porn videos on YouTube became popular overnight among Indian viewers. And the rest as they say is history.

I’m sure you’d remember when one of the leading TV actors was quoted saying in an interview, “She (Sunny) is ruining the psyche of 12-year-old boys in India, who are now doing Google search on her after reading about her pornographic escapades and seeing her on television. Hindi film producers should think 100 times before considering Sunny. Tomorrow she may accuse them of sexual harassment for shaking hands with her! She only wants publicity.”

All said and done, the point here is, are Indians really ready to watch a porn star in a Bollywood flick? Is it sheer excitement to witness this paradigm shift in Bollywood? Or is it time Bollywood audiences get exposed to such bolder cinema? I’m not saying there have been no bold movies made in the past or we have not seen sex scenes in Bollywood films but having an acclaimed porn star performing those acts is going to be a different ball game altogether. 

HELLO,,,,,,,,, IS CENSOR BOARD LISTENING ? ? ? 

Also, considering the fact that no matter what genre our Hindi films may belong too, they always make up for a family viewing; Sunny Leone’s porn star status might create a state of discomfort for a select lot. And going by the latest news, filmmaker Ekta Kapoor of Balaji Telefilms has also signed Sunny for a sequel to her spooky horror flick Ragini MMS. Well, it looks like film making is all about taking huge risks. And Indian filmmakers indeed have shown this courage to cast a porn star in their films. Now whether it would pay off or go for a toss, only time will decide. Till then, let’s continue reading more news about Sunny Leone, who is on her way right to become another controversial hottie in tinsel town.
