Why does Sunny Leone want to get into Bollywood?

New Delhi: The arrival of Sunny Leone to Bigg Boss and her desire to become a Bollywood heroine has sparked a debate that whether or not she deserves a chance. One more question arises that why Sunny Leone could have attracted towards the Hindi film industry.

Originally christened as Karen Malhotra, Sunny Leone can barely speak Hindi but other housemates are more or less convinced that she will get offers from the Hindi film industry.

But why does she want to get into Bollywood?

It's surely not a question of justifying existence. She has already spent a good number of years in the porn film industry and being a Bollywood heroine is not going to help her much in an image makeover.

Is the porn industry in west dying and actors working there are on a lookout for new markets?

Sunny Leone is a businesswoman who directly supervises the market of her videos and other online materials. That means she must be aware of the economic situation prevailing in America and Europe. This might have compelled her to go for the Indian market which is without doubt one of the better performing markets at this time.

Further the ever increasing number of online porn stores has grabbed the bigger chunk of the market and traditional porn stars have lost their charm in a way. The availability of clips at a click might have outdated Leone.

Sunny Leone's public relation team is trying hard to initiate an argument about the differences between a porn star and a prostitute and they seem to have won the first round as the Indian viewers have started to talk about Sunny Leone and what she does.

But this does not ensure an instant success for a Bollywood film with Sunny Leone as the traditional Indian movie enthusiast can't point out the dissimilarities between an adult film heroine and prostitute, leave aside the case of a hardcore porn actor.

In all probability, filmmakers casting Sunny Leone will also depend on the sleaze associated with the name. This implies that Sunny Leone will remain the porn star and will not become a typical Bollywood heroine.

Therefore the whole idea of getting into the Indian film industry is a gimmick to satisfy the need of new audience base for Leone.
