Pooja might need hired me because I'm a porn star: Sunny Leone

By Hindustan Times

Back in India to advertise her debut Hindi film, Sunny Leone says the following 10 days might be tough.

There were reports that you just were shy of filming intimate scenes.
I am not shy in any respect. The affection scenes in movies are like a choreographed dance. In Bollywood, the camera movement, actors’ placement, lights etc need to work in tandem. But in my world (adult film industry), you just press the record button and capture the moments. Here (Jism 2), there has been nothing to be uncomfortable about, it was rather about being used to it. I'VE my way of doing these scenes and Bollywood has its way.

In Bollywood, kissing and intimate scenes always make headlines. What do you think that of this brouhaha?
I have seen actors kissing and wearing with reference to nothing in intimate scenes here, though I do needless to say it’s a large deal in Indian movies. However, I also believe that the youth is able to watch something more forward than what their parents and grandparents watched. This stuff happen in bedrooms, but perhaps not much in public.

How good is your Hindi now?
(Laughs) I WILL memorise Hindi dialogue and recite them well. I understand Hindi, though it isn’t a part of my way of life. I DO KNOW I WOULD sound silly speaking it, but I’m going to provide it my best. And I’ll be speaking a large number of Hindi within the next couple of weeks and the interviews may well be pretty brutal, but I’m prepared for them.

Do you're thinking that there’s more take care of you being an adult star than your Hindi film debut?
That could be the explanation why Pooja (Bhatt, director) hired me. With all that was said once I first arrived here and on Bigg Boss, I FEEL that’s a part of the lure of Jism 2. We all know me as being a definite form of person. And though the point of interest is on who I'M and what I do in America, I just hope people will watch the movie (Jism 2) and say ‘wow she did an excellent job acting’ or ‘she worked hard’, which I did. I spent months learning the script and perfecting my Hindi. This was something modern to me, an enormous learning curve. I FOUND so much about myself and the way this industry works.

The film’s promo begins with a line — ‘I'M Izna, I am a porn star.’ And recently Pooja said in an interview that when she cast you, she changed the nature right into a porn star. Is that true?
I haven't any clue. I don’t know if that was what she was aiming for. You need to ask her that query. Nothing within the film is attached to me being an adult actor — no less than to not my knowledge. I haven’t said this sort of line. I usually say adult actress as I never say porn star anyway.
