“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.

“I have no limitations because I believe when you listen to a script and the script is awesome, but you refuse it because of just one kissing scene, then you have failed to understand the intent with which the writer has written it,” Parineeti told reporters.

“As I was reading the script (of ‘Ishaqzaade’), I didn’t realise when did the lovemaking scenes went by…If you like the script, then there is no problem whether it has lovemaking scenes, bikini scene or anything. As an actor, one should not have any limitations.”

The actress, a trained singer, managed to overshadow Gauhar Khan in a “Mujra” song. However, Parineeti doesn’t feel so and calls Gauhar a fantastic dancer.

“Gauhar is a fantastic dancer, she is very quick. I have not overshadowed her at all. I enjoy dancing though I never learned it, so I might not be technically brilliant,” the 23-year-old said.

“The talks are on with them… So we can’t say anything. It is all in initial stage.. We would be happy if it is made in English. It will be great. But if it does not happen then also it is ok.”

The 46-year-old director also made it clear that there will be no prequel to the hit Hindi film.

“I know people want to see more of Bob Biswas… But we can’t make a prequel particularly only for Bob. His character was small and it will not make a full film,” Sujoy said.

The character of Bob Biswas, a contract killer-cum-LIC agent, was appreciated by all.

Additionally, the movie will also be remade in Tamil and Telugu by TV production company Endemol India.

Known for its television shows like “Bigg Boss” and “Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi”, the production company is set to roll the remakes on floors in September. Both the Tamil and Telugu versions will release in January 2013.

The company is currently in talks with some leading southern actors for the lead role in “Kahaani” remake.

“I think every woman wants a Raj and that is why I have always wanted to work with Shahrukh Khan. Whenever we work together I would like it (film) to be a relationship story.

“When one thinks of romance the foremost names that come to my mind are Rajesh Khanna and Shahrukh Khan.” Vidya, who has given hits like “Paa”, “The Dirty Picture” and “Kahani” has never worked with any of the three Khans of Bollywood.

The actress said she would like to work with all of them.”I think all three Khans — Shahrukh, Aamir, Salman — have their own individual styles.

I would like to work with all of them. But I must say …hats off to Aamir for his TV show ‘Satyamev jayate’. I think only he could have done this,” Vidya said.

“I would love to pair with Abhishek. Also, I would like to work with Hritik because I haven’t worked with him before, I am very much greedy, I want to work with all good actors and directors,” she said.

“I will be signing my next film in two-three days. It will be an easy role for me to jump back to. My own production will be later,” Lara told reporters Tuesday here at the launch of her DVD – Parental Yoga With Lara Dutta.

Lara, who wed ace tennis player Mahesh Bhupati in 2011, gave birth to her daugther Saira in January this year.

“So many actresses have become mothers. They have all taken their time to come back. So, I think this is an outdated concept that if someone has become a mother, so she will sit at home. I can’t wait to come back,” she said.

She says that she is enjoying her motherhood. “The love for your child becomes so unconditional that the reality of who you really are becomes very clear to you because that is totally reflected in your child. That kind of unconditional love, which you experience, makes you very vulnerable. It also makes you aware of the world and everything which surrounds it,” she said.

“She is totally using and abusing me and I am very happy about it. She is wonderful and is a lovely little girl. She is a joy to be around and I am thoroughly enjoying it,” added the 34-year-old.

She was speaking at the launch of her DVD – Parental Yoga With Lara Dutta.

Lara and Mahesh Bhupati’s daughter was born Jan 20. She also informed reporters that she had a caesarean section baby.

“I had a C-section because of the way Saira was placed. I think I have got back pretty quickly, considering it has been just three months,” Lara said.

“My film choices are obviously going to be dictated by Saira’s welfare. I am not going to do films which would require me to stay on the sets from morning to night or for multiple days in a row. So, I will pick my choices very carefully. I am excited with what’s coming my way already,” said the 34-year-old.

Lara informed the reporters that she would think about her next production venture in the second half of the year.

“I feel lucky enough to have had a good start by working in alternate niche films like ‘Dev D’ that have a different style. I have got an opportunity to work with some very good directors, but it is hard to keep up the good work,” Kalki told IANS on phone from Mumbai.

“It is very important to choose the right kind of roles; and do not rush into grabbing projects. It is important to be patient. You might work for eight-nine months and be out of work for the rest of the time,” she added.

The 29-year-old is known for portraying unconventional characters. She ventured into filmdom with critically acclaimed “Dev D”, where she played a young girl who ends up becoming a prostitute. Later she did films like “Shaitan”, “That Girl In Yellow Boots” and most recently “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” and “My Friend Pinto“.

The actress is now gearing up for the release of political thriller “Shanghai”. Directed by Dibakar Banerjee, it takes a dig at the sad state of affairs in the country.

The film has been inspired by a mid-1960s book “Z”, by Greek writer and diplomat Vassilis Vassilikos. “Shanghai” will have its world premiere at the 13th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards to be held in Singapore during June 7-9. It features Emraan Hashmi, Abhay Deol and Prosenjit Chatterjee.

“I think youth are getting frustrated with the sad state of affairs of the country. And they are becoming more aware of the current situation. The Anna Hazare movement was the best example of it. It had such a strong impact on the youth of the country,” she said.

” ‘Shanghai’ talks about dreams and reality. People here talk about converting the country into Shanghai; they promise good infrastructure, good facilities, but reality is something different. There is no water, there are potholes on roads.There is a prevalent ‘chalta hai’ attitude here. It’s high time something should be done,” added Kalki.

This is the first time that Kalki is working with Dibakar and the actress admits that the filmmaker is “a tough taskmaster”.

“He is a perfectionist and knows what he wants. He almost made me cry during the shoot. It was a month- long shoot in a small town of Latur and Baramati, where there was no proper food, no hot water, no proper resting place too. We had nothing much to do there, but that helped us stay focussed on our work and enact our scenes properly,” she said.

“He pushes people to such an extent that they are bound to give good performances,” she added.

The actress has now begun shooting for Vishal Bharadwaj’s supernatural thriller “Ek Thi Daayan”, which features Emraan and Konkona Sen Sharma.

After setting up a 25 MW solar power plant through a joint venture in Gujarat’s solar park at Charanka, the actor evinced interest to partner in the state’s canal-based solar power generation project. Devgan thanked Modi for the government’s cooperation for his solar energy venture, an official statement said.

Modi told Devgan about the success of pilot project for generating solar power by installing panels on Narmada canal, as well as research on generating power by putting micro hydro turbines in the flowing water. Devgan expressed desire to partner in this project, the statement said

“Just reading that Taruni Sachdev the girl child artist in ‘Paa’, has perished in Nepal plane crash .. please god may this not be true,” Amitabh posted on his Twitter page.

“Happy Birthday Sunny! Sunny celebrates her birthday with the unit members in Sri Lanka,” producer Mahesh Bhatt posted on Twitter. Her birthday was on Sunday.

She cut a chocolate cake, which read “Happy Birthday Sunny”.

Sunny, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, came to India for “Bigg Boss 5″ last year. While she was a participant on the reality show, Bhatt offered her “Jism 2″, and she gave her nod to it.

“Jism 2″ is the sequel to 2003 film “Jism”, in which Bipasha Basu’s steamy scenes became the talk of the town.

Sunny will be seen with Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh. It is being helmed by Pooja Bhatt.
