Bobby Khan vouches for Sunny's professionalism.
"Her past life was her choice, but in India, people's thinking is still like that. Many actors refused the film. Sunny felt bad and Daniel (Sunny's husband Daniel Weber) told me, 'Next time if you see an actor, I will come with you as I want to tell them that please work with my wife as she is very professional'. I felt very sad," added Mr Khan.
Apart from Sunny, Ek Paheli Leela features Jay Bhanushali, Rajneesh Duggal, Rahul Dev and Mohit Ahlawat.
The director hopes Sunny gets an "image makeover" with the film.
"It's a very strong script and I visualized Sunny as Leela," he added

Mohit Ahlawat, 32, was Ram Gopal Varma's blue-eyed boy when he launched him in 'James' a few years back. Then hell broke loose in Mohit's life and he went through a separation and got into drugs. Even though he comes from a wealthy background and his father owns a Bentley and Ferrari, he always wanted to make it on his own, just like his father had done. He is emotional, loyal and hot-tempered. He claims to have both, self-respect and ego, but is simple and straightforward. Today, he is not just out of drugs, but is completely dedicated to only pursuing his dream of becoming a star. He may not have many friends, but he trusts his family friends, Kishen and Bhushan Kumar, blindly. Ahead of his upcoming romantic film 'Ek Paheli Leela', he talks to Bombay Times about his mentor Ram Gopal Varma, his life at the rehab and why he will never divorce his separated wife, Sai. Excerpts
How did you come into films?
We are Jats from Panipat. My father exports home furnishings and he has factories in India and China. He was very close to Gulshan Kumar ji and so I would visit Bhushan and Kishen in Mumbai. I was visiting them once in 1999 and from Mumbai was to go to Dubai, but I still remember I went to Somi Ali's birthday party at Piano Bar with Kishen. There was this song 'Oh Oh Jaane Jana..' that was playing and I saw Salman Khan. I was 120 kilos that time, but I had decided that I wanted to be like him. I got stuck and never landed up even going to Dubai. I went back to Panipat instead, lost weight and came back to Mumbai. In the meantime, I also finished my graduation from Hindu College. I would be in Mumbai and go back just to give my exams. I told Bhushan I wanted to become an actor. I lived in his house for five years when I came to Mumbai. This was before his marriage. He treated me like his own brother. I had always been impressed with Ram Gopal Varma's work and wanted to start with him. I went to meet Ramu and showed him my pictures and he said, 'We will do something.' And he launched me in James.
From being Ram Gopal Varma's blue-eyed boy, you don't work with him today. What went wrong?
He is a very intelligent man and is my mentor. He is egoistic, but is a very nice-hearted person. He thinks for others. But sometimes, his ego is so big that he doesn't understand anything. His brain only thinks cinema and work all the time. I used to respect him a lot and I did two films with him. But after that, he wanted me to do Amitji's role in Sholay in his version of the film and I was not happy with the film. He did not take that well and so I left him.
There were stories talking about how Ramu was obsessed with you. Was there any truth in those?
He was never obsessed with me. He is not bisexual. He saw a young angry man in me. He always felt that I would be a superstar one day and always encouraged me. He always treated me like a star. But he gets egoistic when you refuse him for a role. I miss him sometimes, especially when I want to ask someone for advice. He does not show it from outside, but inside he has a soft heart. I have always wanted to be called Ram Gopal Varma's blue-eyed boy and would still like to be called so. He was the one who gave me my break despite my not being from the industry. I want to work with him and will definitely do that some day, but not now.
No one knows where you were past few years?
Since I was a kid, I travelled the world with my father and was exposed to healthy food. Being a Jat, my body easily gets six packs with exercising. But few years back, keeping those eight packs for a long time, my stomach and intestine lining was gone totally. I had got into drugs due to a bad marriage and due to my professionally not doing well. So I was being treated. I spent a few months even in New York in a rehab. Consuming drugs is a disease. But today, I eat healthy, have just six packs and am totally out of it.

Talk about the time you were being treated?
During my treatment, they gave me electric shocks, as a result my memory for those two years is totally erased. They study your brain and give you some chemicals to remove that part. It was life changing. I saw the craziest people of the world. And I was one of them. When I left the rehab, the first thing is that you feel like going back to drugs. It's a disease. While you are in the rehab, you don't have access to it. They give you so many electric shocks and medicines, you become a vegetable. I tried it only once after coming out, but felt very unhappy and guilty. I saw my father's face and could not do it after that. I want to tell every person who consumes drugs that insan sab kuch kar sakta hai. If you want to leave it, you can.
What is the status of your marriage today?
I had a love marriage just before the release of James. My wife Sai Purandare Johar is from Australia. She had come for modeling to Mumbai, which is where we met. We are now separated past five years after the shooting of Shagird. We have an eight-year-old daughter, who lives with her. They both live in Sydney and I am in touch with both of them and every three months, we go for a holiday for a few days. Sai is the mother of my daughter and I still say that she is a very nice person. I will say that I was the bad person between us. We separated as we did not get along. But she was my best friend and I miss her a lot and have missed her at every step of my life. I will never divorce her. She still has those old things in mind and she has not seen me transformed today. She is a very good mother. I am still waiting for her to come back. And I know that she will.
Have you changed today?
I was a very giving person earlier, but now I have become a little more matlabi. I am very emotional, but have learnt to become tough now. I realised that except for my family and Kishen and Bhushan, there was no one standing next to me when I was down and out. I was alone suffering, both mentally and professionally. I understood that you have to be successful and you have to do everything on your own. If you are successful, everything is good and if you are not, then nothing is good.
Who do you love the most in the world?
My father. My grandfather was a Colonel in the British army and my father made it so big on his own. I too want to make it on my own. He was the only one who took care of me and I realised his value during the time I was being treated. He stopped working and only worked on getting me cured. He just wants me to concentrate on work now, not get into bad company and not allow people to use me. He wants me to be safe and have a good living.
Why do you look up while talking?
I feel like someone is up there looking after me. It's my habit since childhood. My mother tells me that I was born with an orange-coloured trishul on my forehead which disappeared when I was three years old, but I am a believer in Lord Shiva.
How was your experience working with Sunny Leone?
She is a nice person, very hard-working and very professional. I didn't know that she is a porn star before. Seriously. I just assumed that she was a model from Playboy or something like that. We were shooting in Jaisalmer when my father called me up there and said to me, 'Don't ever behave in front of her as if she is a porn star. She is a very nice person. Be always well-dressed and well-mannered. Don't do anything stupid.' I think given where she has come from, she is a rockstar.
