Sunny Leone to act in a musical as princess

Sunny Leone might snatch the title Leela from Deepika Padukone who played Leela in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ramleela. The former adult star has turned into a sultry princess in her next film titled Leela, which will be produced by Bhushan Kumar, Ahmed and Shaira Khan.

Sunny's first look in an itsy bitsy outfit released online has already created a frenzy among her fans. Her nose ring has been the highlight of her royal avatar, as she is seen perched on a throne.

Sunny Leone will now be seen as a princess in her next film tentatively titled Leela

Directed and written by Bobby Khan, this movie is a nine-song musical and Sunny will be seen in a new makeover. The film is about a princess, passionately in love with a commoner.

The film will be shot extensively in Rajasthan and London.

Producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series said: "We are very excited for the project. It has an outstanding script." It's a collaboration between producers - music head honcho Bhushan Kumar and ace choreographer Ahmed Khan. The two have got together for the musical extravaganza.

"It will be a very enthusiastic journey producing a dance musical with Sunny as the female lead as she is a beautiful actress and we will get to present her in a new way. Despite the criticism, Sunny has created a name for herself in India," said producer Ahmed Khan.

After the success of Ragini MMS 2, she will be seen hosting the new season of Splitsvilla. She will also do an item number Pink Lips in the upcoming thriller Hate Story 2.

On-screen chemistry depends on your co-stars: Deepika

For actress Deepika Padukone, the on-screen chemistry between two actors cannot be cultivated but it rather stems from the "comfort level" they share. 

The sizzling chemistry that Deepika shared with co-star Ranveer Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Ram Leela' sparked rumours of a romance between the two actors. But both Deepika and Ranveer have refrained from directly commenting on the status of their relationship. 

"Chemistry was relevant to the film at that time. What was important for me and Ranveer is to have a good chemistry in a film like 'Ram Leela' which is an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. (As) the film was a passionate love story, we needed that kind of chemistry and it worked for the film," Deepika said at an event. 

She said contrary to the perception, the on-screen chemistry cannot be created between two actors. 

"You cannot create chemistry. Also a director cannot direct chemistry as it is something that actors bring to their characters and to the film. It lies in the comfort level that they share. I believe they cannot create it," the actress said. 

Once the film is superhit, one has seen top actors demanding profit share from the makers. Deepika too thinks of following the trend. 

"I think it depends on project to project. If it is fair for guys (actors) to get it (profit share) then why not girls. I will definitely think about it," she said. 

Deepika chose to play safe when asked whether she would play the role of Amitabh Bachchan's daughter in Soojit Sircar's upcoming film.

Hot Bollywood Gossip: Deepika Padukone heartbroken as Ranveer Singh misses award nominations

Subhash K Jha

Any doubts about the warm friendship shared between Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are dispelled when one realizes how protective she is of his right to win awards during this awards season. Going by the early trends it looks like Deepika Padukone is all set to sweep all the popular awards. But the actress is not ecstatic about her triumph. Why?  That's because her Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela co-star and her real-life good friend (wink wink) Ranveer Singh is not likely to win any of the awards.

Deeepika, who feels Ranveer was as good as her in Ram Leela, is disappointed on her co-star’s behalf. Says a source, “Deepika thinks Ranveer deserves awards for Ram Leela. However she cannot come out and say this out loud as she is too politically correct in her proclamations to risk offending the other actors in the Best Actor nominations.”

Apparently, the actress was heartbroken when Ranveer was not even nominated for the Best Actor category in the Screen awards. “Deepika called up a friend to say she felt awful about Ranveer’s exclusion as she felt he was not just as good as her in Ram Leela, but even better than her,” says the source. Sadly, the chances of Ranveer winning any award for Best Actor seem dim, considering the competition. “But what better award than to have your co-star (read good friend) believe so strongly in your performance?” says the source. We couldn't agree less!
