Sunny Leone, the Indo Canadian adult star who came to India as a Bigg Boss inmate is no longer the hesitant actor that she was in her first movie 'Jism 2'. She is more mature, confident and richer.

But is Bollywood still hesitant about signing Leone in big budget, A-lister movies?

Recently, reports surfaced that ‘family men’ Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar are not willing to work with her. Apparently the two wanted her out of the sequel of their film, 'Welcome'. One of the actors also quoted saying, “I wouldn’t mind working with Sunny. But my wife would.”

Actor Sunny Leone may be the hottest thing in Bollywood now, but may not be the hottest actor in town.

Filmmaker Anees Bazmee said that though Sunny Leone approached him for his movie 'Welcome' he was still working on the script and had not taken any decision about the cast.

The director was fuming about reports that he didn’t sign Sunny Leone for his next, because of Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar. Claiming that it he who made the decision not to cast Leone and the reports were untrue.

Though Sunny made an enroute to Bollywood she has made very little progress in terms of credible films.

Sunny hardly should any acting talent in 'Jism 2' despite the movie doing average at the box office.

She shifted her base to Mumbai and created sensation by appearing in item number "Laila", along with John Abraham in 'Shootout At Wadala".

The film became a hit and now Sunny's concentration is completely on Ekta Kapoor's 'Ragini MMS 2'.

But after that she has not signed any project, no films. Till date she has no offers from the big banners or any big budget movies for a meaty role. 

Looks like the Chopras and the Johars are staying away from the much talked about Leone.

In an interview to Times of India Leone said, she wants to be taken seriously in the industry and is ready to learn and work hard as long as she gets the right kind of roles.

"I want to be offered good roles in film so that I get the opportunity to prove myself. I am a no drama person and I want to work with people who are like that," Leone said.

Nonetheless, Sunny Leone is getting rich not so much from films as from endorsements.

As per recent reports, Sunny Leone is minting more money from endorsements than her films. She has become one of the lead entertainers of Bollywood today who is hugely paid for dancing and entertaining in events and functions.

She is also the brand ambassador of top perfume, contraceptive and drinks brands.

She is the leading poster girl today and has managed to impress the entertainment world with her charm.
