Producer Ahmed Khan on Sunny Leone: She should not do everything that comes her way

Bollywood actress Sunny Leone had achieved fame long before she made her debut in the film industry. When she gained popularity, producers from the film industry began making her offers for films, which led to a lot of excitement for the audiences. But now it seems like the actress has lost her charm. Most of her movies aren't doing well at the box office including her latest outing opposite Arbaaz Khan, titled 'Tera Intezaar'.
Ahmed Khan who was the producer of Sunny Leone starrer 'Ek Paheli Leela', said, “Sunny is beautiful and she fits the requirements of the audience. The only problem, as I see it, is that there’s a time for everything. Ek waqt hota hai jab sab chalta hai, phir woh nahi chalta. She’s done nine films, but 'Leela' was the last one that opened well because the treatment was different. Sunny has what it takes but I believe there’s a sense of fatigue that has come in with her films.”
Ahmed also has a simple word of advice for Sunny. “She should just hold on for some time now. She should not do everything that comes her way,” he said. When asked if he would want to work with her again, he said, “She is a thorough professional and I have no regrets working with her. If things come my way, I’ll definitely collaborate with her. Even if I want to make a 'Leela 2', there will be an oomph factor about Sunny because of the treatment and promotions. There will definitely be a crunch in the expenditure but all of it depends on the project."
“She’s stuck in an image where she keeps getting offered the same kind of films. When she does a song like 'Laila Main Laila' in 'Raees', it becomes a rage and pumps up the excitement for the film. She still enjoys an immense fan following and people do want to see her. But the content is not working for her right now. People need to give her a chance to do something different,” he concluded.
Trade analyst Komal Nahta has a different take on the issue. He said, “It’s unfair to blame an actress completely for a film’s failure. So, it would be wrong to put the whole responsibility solely on her. We have to understand that Hindi films still run on a hero’s star power. Sunny is just signing the wrong films, which don’t have any meaning for the audience. It’s the film, the content and the director who should be blamed first.”
“She needs someone to help and guide her while choosing her films. She has still not reached the stage where producers won’t invest money on her. So, she still has time and should be judicious about her choice from now on,” he added. There’s also a huge debate about how there has been an overexposure of Sunny, thanks to her several item numbers and cameos in films along with her own movies. But Komal disagrees, “There’s a huge difference between an item number and a proper role. That can’t be the conclusion to this topic,” he said.
