What’s special about Sunny’s 'Desi look'

The pink bikini worn by Sunny Leone in the song 'Desi look' was her own. The actress has sported Victoria’s Secret's lingerie in the song complete with the giant wings. But the pink bikini was from her personal collection which was gifted to her by husband Daniel Weber on Valentine’s Day. Moreover, the filmmaker also had to get similar pink bikinis for all the background dancers as well. According to Deccan Chronicle, the pink wings sported by her in the song were imported from Los Angeles for USD 5000.

Sunny’s hubby’s cutest role

In an interview to IANS, Sunny Leone revealed that her hubby, Daniel Weber has the ‘cutest role’ in Ek Paheli Leela. While the seductress will be seen sharing the screen with Rajneesh Duggal, Jay Bhanushali, Jas Arora and many more in the film. For the record, Sunny has expressed her wish to work with her husband in a film where he gets a full-fledged role.

Similarity to Kamasutra?

Ek Paheli Leela boasts of an interesting storyline and has several adoptions like the 'Dhol baaje' and 'Deewana tera' numbers and the Zeenat Aman look. But the trailer, which is loaded with several steamy scenes bears similarities with Mira Nair’s Kamasutra.

Adopting the old hits

Sunny Leone stepped into the shoes of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to dance to her hit song, 'Dhol baaje' remake. Sunny even learnt classical dance to get her moves right. While the song is a much different and racier version of the original, the number is being much liked by music lovers. Not only this, the famous Sonu Nigam song, 'Main hoon deewana...' has been recreated by Arijit Singh and Meet Bros Anjjan in a refreshing manner.

Male attention
Who would not like to grab all the attention in a multi-starrer film? Sunny Leone is the leading actress of the film, Ek Paheli Leela and has not one or two but five male actors opposite her. From romancing Jay Bhanushali in the song to getting intimate with Rajneesh Duggal in her previous birth avatar, Sunny Leone is playing the centre of attention in the film which also has Mohit Ahlawat as Prince Ranveer, Jas Arora as Prince Bikram and Rahul Dev as Bhairav.

12 kilo costume
Sunny Leone, who has scorched the silver screen in a super glamorous avatar in the films like Jism 2, Ragini MMS 2 and a few very popular item songs, will now be seen decked in heavy lehengas in mystery drama, Ek Paheli Leela. The diva has donned a 12 kilo Rohit Verma lehenga in the song 'Mere sayiaan superstar' which made it extremely difficult for her to even sit during the breaks. Therefore, a similar but lighter lehenga was made for her within a day to enable her to perform the choreographed steps properly.

Milk bath gone wrong

Sunny Leone takes good care of herself like any other actress but bathing in milk did not prove to be much beneficial for her. According to reports, Sunny Leone had to bath with 100 litres of milk for a scene in Ek Paheli Leela. Since it was very cold, the milk was mixed with hot water which caused severe rashes. But being the professional that she is, Sunny completed the shoot with perfection only to treat herself after the wrap up.

Visual delight
Ek Paheli Leela has been largely shot in Jodhpur with some parts in Mumbai and London. The trailer seems to be no less than a visual delight in terms of picturesque locales which highlight the deserts of Rajasthan. Topped with colourful costumes and elaborate set up, the film seems to promise a visual delight. Ek Paheli Leela might just prove to be Sunny's biggest blockbuster till date.
