Mastizaade: I am responsible for what people think about me, says Sunny Leone

That Sunny Leone is a brand and a rather sexy one at that, is a fact no one can negate. Over the years, she has carved a niche for herself and has endeared herself to the masses as well. Her next release is Mastizaade, a Milap Zaveri directed adult comedy.

Due to her association with the adult film industry, Sunny has always been tagged a sex symbol. However, the actress is aware that it will take time for people to change their perception towards her.

"When I first came to Bollywood, people thought I am here to be a part of a couple of films and then I will return to do what I am best at. But I think it takes time to change any perception. I am not what people think about me.

Sunny Leone is a brand which has been created years before my Bollywood debut. So of course there will be a stereotype, but I have to deal with it as the entire image has been created by me and I am okay with that. I think the image changes as and when I interact with people. Things change over a course of time and not overnight," she says.

Sunny is also very sure that she wants to work with everyone and not just restrict herself to a select few.

"I want to work with all the actors, be it male or female. It does not matter to me if they are big actors or small actors or superstars or not. I want to work with people who want to work with me and who want to make good films," she maintains.

Mastizaade releases on 29 January, 2016.
