Does Sunny need to revamp her sex symbol image?



The sultry beauty seems to be getting typecast by the filmmakers as well as the audience, its high time the audience gets to see the different facet of her talent and personality!

Apparently the ex-porn star grabbed all the eyeballs when she entered India's biggest reality show, Bigg Boss Season 5. The actress did capture many hearts and had her own mass following. Though she did not win the show but she somehow managed to enter Tinsel Town.

Keeping her previous career in mind the filmmakers always expected Sunny Leone to add her hot vibe to their film. She has been considered as a sex symbol and the audience also expect a pinch of salacious flavour to the film she is in.


Sunny Leone made her debut with Jism 2, where the film was filled with her sultry bikini and erotic moves, considering her other films, Shootout at Wadala, Raagini MMS 2 and Jackpot we could see the filmmakers trying to mint money on Sunny's bold avataars and present her as a sex symbol.

But, in her recent film, Leela Ek Paheli, in the trailer, to our surprise, we can see the actress has done a bit of an acting and we hope this film does proves out to be an image changer for the damsel.

As it's high time, we would definitely want to see her acting talent and would not want her to be used as a mere doll to draw the crowd to the theaters.
