One crore paid to Sunny Leone - සනි ලියොන්ට ලක‍්ෂයක්

noreply@blogger.com (Hansani) — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 06:37:00 +0000

Well a porn star couldn't ask for a better beginning in Bollywood. Apparently, Ekta Kapoor, signed Sunny Leone for the sequel of Ragini MMS way before the release of her first film, Jism 2. But wait that’s not it, if reports are to be trusted, the hyper Ekta is paying a whopping amount of 1 crore to Sunny.

A source said, Even the lackluster performance by Sunny in Jism2 couldn’t change Ekta’s mind as she stuck firm to her decision.

So how is Ekta going to get out the professionalism in Sunny? or is she just paying her the amount to portray sunny in a way sexier than her fans want to see her? Our expectations are very low because Jism 2 was damp squib, thanks to scant skin show by the Indo-Canadian porn star.

Sunny was well aware that she disappointed her fans in Jism 2, for which she apologized and said that she won’t disappoint with her next film. Let’s wait and see if Sunny sticks by her words.
