Sunny skips her own documentary premiere

Sunny Leone’s absence at the premiere of a documentary at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)  raised several eyebrows. And this was because said docu, Mostly Sunny, is about her own rise to Bollywood stardom from her beginnings in the adult movie business.

The two-hour film, helmed by photographer Dilip Mehta, had Sunny and husband Daniel Weber’s approval and participation, but now, it seems to have run afoul of the Leone camp.

Says a source from Toronto, “The premiere of  the Sunny documentary was held on Sunday night at TIFF. Dilip and his sister Deepa Mehta had even organised a lunch in honour of Sunny, which she was to attend along with her husband. But she didn’t turn up for the lunch or the premiere in the evening.”

When contacted, Sunny and Daniel told us they were in New York attending a family function. Says Daniel, “Sunny had a prior commitment. Sunday was a very important day for our nephew (Daniel’s nephew). He had his bar mitzvah (Jewish coming-of-age ceremony for boys) that day and this was planned in advance.”

Then again, so was the film’s premiere in Toronto. Why wasn’t the filmmaker and his team informed of Sunny’s unavailability on said date?
