Sunny Leone does not want the documentary, Mostly Sunny, to release, as she feels that it does not do justice to her story. “I hope it doesn’t come to India. Because that’s not the story that is mine. This is somebody else’s opinion, somebody else’s vision. No one has a right to tell your life story except for you,” Leone told PTI in an exclusive interview.

“I am the one telling the story, it is my life. There were certain things I didn’t like and I wanted it (the documentary) to be for many people to watch, not just one age group. I don’t see my story as a sob story, where something went wrong. That’s not my story,” the actress said.
Leone also seemed to hint that the documentary had been manipulated in a way that bothered her ‘personally’. “Its not a biopic made on my life where you can manipulate and say what you want. It is not like you are appealing to cinematic liberty. This is somebody’s life. This is my life, I take it very personally,” she added.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Mostly Sunny director Dilip Mehta said that he found her attitude ‘disappointing’. The actress agreed to shoot for the documentary, but is said to have developed cold feet after she saw some raw footage that she found objectionable. “Her distancing herself from the documentary is hilarious and yet disappointing on a personal note. For me, that’s indicative of the fact that her publicly stated stance of ‘not giving a damn’ is farcical, a PR exercise,” Mehta added.
