Sunny Leone gets mobbed on the sets of Mastizaade in Bangkok

Sunny Leone will be next seen in a double role as Laila and Lily Lele in Milap Zaveri’s adult comedy Mastizaade also starring Tusshar Kapoor and Vir Das.

While shooting a hot and steamy car wash song sequence on a beach in Bangkok, the gorgeous actress was shocked to see thousands of people gathered to watch her groove to Rom Rom Romantic, a naughty, playful and wicked song from the original soundtrack sung by Mika Singh, composed by Amaal Mallik and choreographed by Mudassar Khan.

The minute Sunny landed on set in her stunning bikini ready to hose down the bright red sports car, the crowd started shouting her name repeatedly which left her hugely surprised and ecstatic! Little did she know that she has such a massive fan following in Thailand!

These people were not just Sunny’s Indian fans touring Bangkok but also foreign tourists and local residents who went literally berserk seeing their favourite star dance right in front of their eyes. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and Sunny obliged each of her fans with autographs and selfies once the shoot for the day was over.

In the final picturisation of the song, the audience will notice huge groups of people gathered around Sunny cheering her on, clapping in the air and literally singing along with her almost like they were at a rock concert!

The crowds were so uncontrollable that the production team didn’t have any choice but to invite each one of Sunny’s fans to be a part of the shoot and sing and dance along. They didn’t even have to call for any junior artists on the day since all the real Sunny fans automatically filled the frame. Each one of these fans will be pleasantly surprised when they see themselves on screen once the movie releases.

Milap informs, “We had a sexy and fun car wash sequence to shoot in Pattaya with smoking hot Sunny in a stunning bikini! Naturally the crowd and onlookers went BESERK! We had very little time to shoot it and leave because the crowd started to mob Sunny! The sequence is one of the highlights of the film and will make everyone want to wash their cars immediately!”

Mastizaade directed by Milap Zaveri, starring Sunny Leone, Tusshar Kapoor and Vir Das releases on 29 January 2016.
