‘Sunny Leone has all the talent to become mainstream heroine’

Mumbai: ‘Beiiman Love’ helmer Rajeev Chaudhury thinks actress Sunny Leone has enough talent to be a mainstream heroine.

"Why not Sunny Leone? I think she has all the talent to become a mainstream heroine. She has the Indian look. I watched her films like 'Jism 2' and 'Ragini MMS'. I was so convinced that she definitely deserves much better than what she is doing," he said at the music launch of the film when asked why he chose the "Jism 2" actress for the film.

"I prepared the script for Sunny. Sunny liked the script and we tried to give the film a different look. Sunny is different in this film. She is not the same Sunny what you have been seeing till now. She performed very well in all her films and in this film too. But in this film, she has done something out of the box. She has done a substantial job which is going to become a new track for her. That's what I feel," he added.

"This is Sunny's best performance till date. She has acted tremendously as good as Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone. She has done justice to the role. She is fantastic. You'll watch her soon," the director said.

The erotic thriller is directed and produced by Rajeev Chaudhari. It stars Sunny Leone and Rajniesh Duggall and will mark the acting debut of Sunny's husband Daniel Weber.

The film is slated to release on September 30, along with ‘M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’.
