Sunny Leone's Bold Scenes Subtly Shot in Leela, Says Director Bobby Khan


Filmmaker Bobby Khan has roped in adult star Sunny Leone for his movie, Leela, and says his debut movie as a director is a clean family drama, but adds that the actress' glamour quotient will be high and he will try for an U/A certificate for the movie.

"The script of the film is very strong and it's a clean family drama, but we understand that since Sunny is part of the project, there is a lot of expectation from the audience, so I can't cheat my audience," Bobby told IANS.

The actress had scorched the screen with her bold role in Ragini MMS 2 and Jism 2.

"All I can say is though it is a family drama, Sunny's glamour quotient will be high in the film. There are a few scenes in the film which require a little boldness, but we have shot it subtly and not shown it to be over the top," he said.

"As a director I will try my best to fight and get a U/A certificate for the film, so let's see," he added.

The film has been widely shot in Rajasthan.

Talking about Sunny's look in the film, Bobby said "Sunny plays three characters in the movie, so she has three different looks. I can assure you that Sunny will be seen in a never-seen-before role here. I have tried to make her look like a Bollywood heroine and I hope the audience accepts it," he said.

2014 Paris Motorshow: Lamborghini Asterion Hybrid Unveiled

Lamborghini has unveiled the Asterion LPI 910-4 concept at the 2014 Paris Motorshow. For those of you who are wondering what Asterion means, well, it is a mythical creature; a Minotaur. This infact makes us understand the philosophy behind the Asterion. A Minotaur is a creature from the Greek mythology which had the head of the bull and the body of a man, so it was a hybrid and yes that is exactly what the Asterion is; a hybrid.
Yes, it is the first time Lamborghini has made a plug-in hybrid but that does not mean it has any less power. The concept boasts of a 5.2-litre natural aspirated engine V10 which puts out 610bhpfrom the Huracan with three electric motors packing an extra 300bhp along with a seven-speed DSG. This hardware setup has created the most powerful Lamborghini ever capable of unleashing a mighty 910bhp.

But the reverse has been true, and so the anticipation would be there for the facelifted B-Class to arrive in India.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha: First Impressions


Apple filled a gaping hole in its product lineup with new iPhones boasting larger screens like Samsung's flagship Galaxy smartphones. Now, Samsung is coming out with a smaller phone that looks and feels more like an iPhone.
The new iPhones measure 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches diagonally, up from 4 inches before. Still, that's smaller than the 5.1 inches on the Galaxy S5 and the 5.7 inches on the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 4 phones.
But even Samsung is stepping back from its recent practice of releasing ever-bigger phones. The new Galaxy Alpha matches the 4.7 inches on the iPhone 6and has a metal frame like the new iPhones, reflecting Samsung's attempt to mirror Apple's emphasis on design.
The Alpha will be available in the U.S. starting Friday through AT&T. It will cost $200 with a two-year service contract, or $613 without one. The $613 price, which can be paid in installments, is less than the $650 starting price for theGalaxy S5  and the iPhone 6. You also get double the storage with the Alpha, but it's still a high price to pay for technology that isn't top of the line.
