Contrary to rumours that Sunny Deol was pivotal in ousting Sunny Leone from Anil Sharma’s upcoming film, our sources say that it was the actress herself who carved her way out.

Earlier there was buzz how Deol had instructed the filmmakers to drop the adult film actress from their project given a string of funny jokes based on their first names doing the rounds. However, our sources insist that it was Sunny who refused to do the item number that was offered to her.

A source says, “Anil offered Sunny around R 50 lakh for the dance number opposite Deol. But since Sunny had signed her debut Bollywood film for a crore, this didn’t match her expectations. She also has a three-film deal with a production company and she is much in demand now.”

Another source reveals, “Apparently, they were asking for too many rehearsal dates which Sunny couldn’t give, thanks to her other engagements. That apart, Sunny is keen to do item numbers with bigger stars.”

Anil Sharma says, “Deol has no problem with Sunny or vice versa. She will definitely do the item number. We are trying to work out her dates.”  However, our sources insist that Sunny is no longer a part of the film.
