All that glitters is not gold and all porn stars are not bold, says the inimitable Mahesh Bhatt
while revealing that Sunny leone was shy and uncomfortable while filming the lovemaking scenes with Randeep Hooda in her Bollywood debut "Jism 2".
"I always knew that she is a very shy person. Just because she is a porn star doesn't mean that she has lost her feminine quality of being shy. During the lovemaking scene with Randeep she was finding it very difficult to do it comfortably," Bhatt, who is producing the film, told IANS over phone from Sri lanka, where "Jism 2" is being shot.
" 'Jo nazar aata hai wo hota nahin hai'. All that glitters is not gold, all soldiers are not brave, all holy men are not holy and all porn stars are not bold. At times reality is different," added the filmmaker.
The Indo-Canadian adult star of Punjabi origin was finalised for the role by Bhatt during her stint in the reality show "Bigg Boss 5".
"Jism 2" is a sequel to 2003 film "Jism", in which Bipasha Basu's steamy scenes became the talk of the town.
Pooja Bhatt, who had produced the original, is directing part two.
Sunny surprised the entire crew with her shy behaviour.
"Everyone was surprised with her shyness, but I understood that it will be difficult for her. It's not easy to shoot a lovemaking scene; it is a very demanding thing. Those who believed that it would be a cakewalk for her will be shocked by this revelation," said Bhatt, who has also written the script of the film.
"Jism 2" will see Sunny as seductress Izna. The love triangle also features Arunoday Singh.
Randeep, who shot lovemaking scenes with Mahie Gill in "Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster", was equally uncomfortable while shooting the scenes.
"Even for Randeep it became very challenging although he has shot similar scenes before. One has to understand that it's not a fighting scene," Bhatt said.
Named by Maxim as one of the 12 top porn stars in 2010, Sunny, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, recently, celebrated her 31st birthday in Sri lanka.
Bhatt said Sunny wants to move on from being just a porn star and is looking forward to establishing herself as a part of tinsel town.
"Sunny is concerned how she will be perceived by the world as an actress because everybody knows her just as an adult star. She wants to be known for something more than that," he added.
Sunny's career seems to have taken off here. Apart from "Jism 2", she has also bagged a role in a sequel to "Ragini MMS". She has also endorsed a phone and a condom brand.

Agree 100% with Marybarton & ConnectTheDots.
Bhatt & many in the entertainment industry are hypocrites of the first order. On one hand you claim to have liked sunny Leone because she "isnt afraid of showing what she is" & then you try to cover that up with ridiculous statements like these, which are insulting to us as audiences. Its already obvious what kind of audiences are going to watch this movie thanks to the casting of Sunny Leone. Any chances of any intelligent people going for it has gone down the drain thanks to MB & his publicity/controversy hungry claims that just keep getting more idiotic with time.
I would also like to point out to ppl "defending" Sunny, with due respect to her 7 her choices, I dont think anyone can get "pushed" into the po*n industry- you can face all the hardships in the world & maybe be pushed even into prostitution- thats different - your life remains private & behind closed doors. But to star in a movie-any sort of movie, you really need to enjoy the process to be good at what you do- be it acting or sex. So i dont think she was "pushed" into it- its a choice she made & she has claimed many times to be proud of it too.
Personally I wouldnt disrespect someone because of a choice they made that doesnt harm others, but I dont have any respect her choice too.
& haters & the ppl abusing her need to grow up- but I can understand many people's frustration w.r.t treating a po*n star like god's gift to mankind- really like someone else commented earlier there are more worthy ppl deserving of the role/opportunity & even po*n stars in our own country...as usual its a case of being blinded by what gets appreciated in the west & white skin...
Mahesh Bhatt is incorrigible. What does he want to prove by giving such statements? Sometimes I am forced to hate this guy.
Nothing against Sunny Leone here, I have just had too much of Mahesh's nautankis.

mahesh bhat kitna jhoot boltha hai--film ki publicity keliye.
Am sorry Mehak, i misread ur cmmnt..
thank for the information dear
@Pavi- Dear, did u even read MY comment properly?? I said most of them, nt all...
@Mehak - Lol girl, did u even read all the comments that u r saying people here r not hating her ?!
Just to make it clear, i dont think ppl here are hating sunny leone or her profession, bt most of us are laughing at Mahesh Bhatt's desperate attempts at proving sumthing which does not exist..
Am no fan of Sunny but .. Lol i just can't stop laughing at some comments.. But it's hurting at the same time!!..
Yes, she is a po*n star but do any of u know what made choose the profession ?? Do u know how her life has been like that u guys r hating her ?!
Agreed that her image is not very good but that doesn't mean that she deserves all the abuses, degrading words and hatred.. All of u watch po*n, don't u ?! If she's trying to better her image then what's wrong in it ?? Seriously, all the close minded people and hypocrites r in this country..
I know Sunny is no saint or angel but she'd not done any wrongs to anyone of you !!
I know my comment is going to get many dislikes but i don't care a hoot coz i am not ashamed of calling a spade a spade..
And by the way, which Indian culture r u all talking about ?? Recently. hate story was released.. Wasn't that film against ur so called pure culture ?? And some of ur heroines, whom u regard as godesses, r u very muchs ure that they r not cheap with heir dignity ?? U guys live in their houses that u know that they r as pavitra as ganga ?? Oops, actually abhi toh ganga bhi degrade ho chuki hai pollution se!!..
Jus remember one thing, the girl has the guts to accept what her profession has been in a country like our's n it's something very difficult !!
I wrote this comment to support Sunny n it ws for everyone who's degrading her, am not supporting Bhatt coz he's just promoting his film n stating a plain lie
