Sunny Leone who is busy with the promotions of her latest release ‘Mastizaade’ took some time out and indulged in a chatty conversation wherein she revealed various details surrounding her life.

How was your experience doing this film?

It was all about fun, joking all day long. I mean it was the funniest sets I have ever been around.

What made you take up this project?

When Rongita and Milap met Daiel (my husband) Milap gave few scenes and a little bit of narration of the movie. And this was the only time when it's happened that he called me instantly and told me we are coming upstairs and you have to hear this story and he (Daniel) sounded very excited. Then they came upstairs, Milap told me the first half of the movie and it was so funny and when I think of these types of movies I don't think like “Oh! You know! Log kya sochenge? Like, Oh my god!”

All these things don't go through my mind because I have been raised watching these types of movies, American Pie, We're the Millers. This movie is like walking in the park compared to those ones. I think of the story, I think of the movie and you know this was right after Ragini so we saw nice to make comedy. We just wanted to have fun and do a film which is just funny. So, that's how the movie came about.

You are playing double role in the film so which character you liked the most, lily or laila?

Lily, I like lily more because she is closer to my own personality then Laila is, Laila is been created for the world and that's how people see me. People see me as Laila and that’s the reason when Milap was telling me the story I was like ok I kind of like Lily more than Laila and he came up with the idea we are going to make the double role instead of just Laila and for me it worked because it's not just one. The people see who they want to see and there are also seeing other person that is me too.

How difficult was it transforming from Lily to Laila?

It was easy for me to become Lily. Because she is goofy, she is crazy and she is funny, she makes faces and she is completely opposite to her sister who is always sexy and beautiful and provocative. I found her more difficult.

Do you fear being typecast? Does it bother you?

There is nothing I can do about it. I can't do anything about how I look or being sexy.  So if people want to typecast me. It's ok.  It does not bother me as long as it bothers someone else. My job is to do my job and the next two movies are different. They are not in the same zone of this movie. I don't know if I can make one of these movies unless it will be on the scale of which we made here. The feel, the love the whole look of the movie is so rich. It looks grand. The next two movies are not like this. Everybody keeps asking me when you are going to do serious movies with serious actors?  To me this is just as serious and just as hard as doing something else. But to tell people it's not like the same. So we go to find out whether people like that. People like me seeing this way or another way.

If you are offered action or thriller projects would you take up?

Of course, I love action. Anybody who has worked with me knows I like action. I keep jumping, I am very clumsy. But, I think as long as something is not broken, put a bandage on it and keep moving. So, yes if I get a chance to do action or thriller I would love to do it. Generally, I like varied differ

I like lots of movies in general but I think my favourite is probably comedy.

You said you like movies, so do we see you directing one in the near future?

I don't think so. I think to be a good director you have to do so many things. It's not just “ok today I want to be a director c’mon I can do it.” No you can't, you will be horrible at it. Plus you can actually visualize and see and understand things. It's rare; it's a God given gift that you know how to direct. I don't think that's me. I think I would rather be more of Producer, sit behind the screen and let the right people and talented people do their jobs because I would not want to spoil anything and create trouble out of ego.

So production is in the pipeline?

I think producers make money. So, I would rather producer then a director.

Many women-centric movies coming in range so if in future, if you are offered any biopic or would you like to do a biopic based on the life of anyone?

I am not sure I haven't been offered you know to be somebody. You know the stories of these girls coming in a mystery and all the bad things and then they make a movie out of it. That’s not interesting to me at all and I get lot of those scripts all the time. Just because it's seen all the time you know it's for nothing and then you became actors and then you became larger than life and then you fall on the floor or you commit suicide. It's the same story over and over. So I must take something different that catches my eyes. It needs to be different. Nothing as such has come to me till now.

Just few days back we heard that you would like to take a step ahead into motherhood. So if that type of role is offered to you would you take up?

Sure, why not? I actually played mother in one of the movies that I am making so that's interesting question. I love children's; I don't think that I'll be getting pregnant anytime soon. My comment was taken out of context and turned into completely different. This moment there is so much going on that it would be not wise to get pregnant.

How was it playing a mother?

It was fun I love children's. It's definitely something I would love to have in the future. I had just thrown a house party and there were tons of kids in my house. Banging, pulling things out and running around like maniacs. They all were two years old and they were running around my house whole night long. So, yes I like children and I feel happy around them.

What is happening with your next projects ‘Tina and Lolo’ and ‘One night stand’?

About ‘Tina and Lolo’ I am not sure about it I am really busy so I am not sure and ‘One night stand’ will probably be the movie which releases after this.
