Sunny Leone in Hindi-Kannada bilingual

Early this week, producer K Manju was in Mumbai, on a trip that he claims was to get adult star Sunny Leone to agree to work on his first Hindi film. And Manju says that Sunny has okayed the project and will start shooting for it next year.

"From the time Sunny was announced as the star of Jism 2, I wanted to make a film with her. But she was contractually bound to not do any other project at the time. In fact, even now, she is able to allot dates only after she completes Ekta Kapoor's Ragini MMS 2. Sunny has signed the contract," says Manju, adding that his film is not heroinecentric, and that the hero should be finalized in the next week or two.

Just because he is foraying into B-town doesn't mean he's bidding goodbye to Sandalwood. "I will continue making Kannada films. I have always maintained that I want to make a Hindi film and now things are falling in place. In fact, this film may be simultaneously made in Kannada too, as dubbing in Kannada is not allowed," he says.

The filmmaker refuses to divulge details about Sunny's agreed upon remuneration, sources say that it is to the tune or 1.5 cr and that Manju has paid her a substantial amount as advance.
