Sunny Leone, who made her Bollywood debut in 2012, hit the jackpot when she was later cast in Ekta Kapoor's 'Ragini MMS 2'. As per reports, Ekta was keen on having Sunny associated with the her web series, 'Ragini MMS Returns'. Apparently, Ekta wanted Sunny to attend one of the promotional events for the series that is slated for this week. But Sunny reportedly refused to make an appearance at the event, citing prior commitments and this didn't go down well with Ekta.

A source close to the development revealed, "Ekta thought Sunny's attendance would add glam value to the show and get people talking about it. However, Sunny wasn't available on the required dates. She is leaving tonight for Los Angeles for the next two months. She wants to look into the functioning of her production house there." Apparently, this is not the first time Sunny has turned down Ekta's demands. Sunny was reportedly approached for a cameo on the show, for which she politely declined. A source revealed, "Sunny's decision irked Ekta. Ragini MMS 2 was a landmark film in her career. She should have accommodated the project for the sake of loyalty towards Ekta."

A source close to Sunny revealed, "Sunny would have been more than happy to promote Ragini MMS Returns, but is unfortunately not available on those dates. Ekta's team understood that completely. There is no bitterness between them. In fact, Sunny is considering collaborating with them on a show and is already in talks with them."
