Sunny Leone’s dance number is too sexy.

MUMBAI: The makers of the upcoming Telugu comedy film ‘Current Theega’ which tried to provide some fireworks to the audience ahead of Diwali with an item number by porn star Sunny Leone has got a shock: the Censor Board has given it an A certificate because of Leone’s raunchy moves in the dance sequence.
“The members of the censor board enjoyed watching the film. If it was not for Sunny’s item song, Current Theega would have got ‘U’ certificate,” read a statement from the production house.
“But since the expectations of Sunny’s song is high among audiences, the film’s producer Vishnu Manchu thought otherwise and the film was certified ‘A’,” added the statement.
Current Theega, to be released on October 17, is directed by G Nageshwar Reddy, and has stars Manoj Manchu, Rakul Preet Singh and Jagapathi Babu in lead roles. Leone has only a minor role in the film as a teacher. The film is the Telugu remake of Tamil hit Varutha Padatha Valibar Sangam.
One can only imagine and wait to see why a teacher would be forced to do a raunchy dance number, which was deemed too sexy by the Censor Board.
Leone’s run in Bollywood continues as debutant filmmaker Bobby Khan has her slotted for his supposedly family drama ‘Leela’, which he says is a ‘clean’ family drama’.
“The script of the film is very strong and it’s a clean family drama, but we do understand that since Sunny is part of the project, there is a lot of expectation from the audience, so I can’t cheat my audience,” Bobby told media.
He reassured the expectant audience with these words: “All I can say is though it is a family drama, Sunny’s glamour quotient will be high in the film. There are a few scenes in the film which require a little boldness, but we have shot it subtly and not shown it over the top.”
With Leone in the film, one can only hope the family drama doesn’t devolve into something else.
