She might not have won "Bigg Boss 5", but big girl Sunny Leone is certainly generating booming business in India. First, she announced her entry into Bollywood with Pooja Bhatt's " Jism 2". But even before the movie hits the floors, the Canadian import is generating a lot of buzz on Kolkata's streets courtesy her original professional identity - that of a pornstar.
From Gariahat to Chandni, Park Circus to Kidderpore, Kolkata's grey market has been flooded with pirated CDs and DVDs of Sunny's adult film romps. Priced between 70 and 120, they are selling by the scores. Some of the prints even have 'Bigg Boss participant' printed on the CD cover.
"Ever since she entered " Bigg Boss", demand for her porn films has gone up manifold. I sell around 20 CDs and DVDs a day on an average. Priced at 70 each, they are 'original' Sunny Leone movies," says a vendor at Chandni market. Excited about the spurt in sales, he gives us a peek into one of the storylines. "In one, she is a pizza delivery girl and has her encounters during one such delivery. In another, she is a schoolteacher who has all sorts of orgies. Both are very popular," he adds.
Another vendor says, "There are many fake Sunny Leone DVDs doing the rounds. You will only get the original in my shop, that's why the price is a little high - 120."
Across the street, there are four Sunny Leones vying for attention in one stall. Most have raunchy covers, while one actually has a demure picture of her draped in a sari!
Sunny sells
Sunny Leone adult films have been in circulation for a long time. However, the demand has gone up by leaps and bounds after her "Bigg Boss" stint. I sell around 15 copies a day," says the vendor.
At Gariahat, a pirated CD seller says that he has multiple customers looking for Sunny Leone porn every day. "I am not to sure if it's for "Big Boss", but yes, men of different age groups are looking for her movies, and trust me, they're not all young guys. She's currently topping porn movie sales," he grins.
To meet the demand, dealers are coming up with innovations as well. "We have compiled all the movies in a single DVD. It's priced at 100 and is truly a collector's edition," says a vendor at Park Circus. There are around five shops in the area, all selling Sunny Leone CDs and DVDs. "Sometimes the covers are different but the movies are the same. We are trying to put different covers so that our customers have no problem," says one.
Sunny's ex, Matt Erikson, is the only one she did porn flicks with before their break-up. After they parted ways, he opened a blog that provides the duo's films on a payper-view and rental basis for viewers. But it seems Matt has some, er, stiff competition on Kolkata's streets.
