Sunny Leone goes beyond boundaries

- Prashant Singh

They say art has no boundaries. Keeping with the same spirit, Sunny Leone has gone beyond the boundaries (quite literally) for her next project. A new song called Lovely Accident will see her collaborat­e with Bangladesh­i musician, Taposh – better known as Kaushik Hossain Taposh. Apparently, it’s a “fast-paced, peppy track” by Jam8/Pritam “which has melodies and beats of Bangladesh and India mixed together”.

“Taposh is a total profession­al in every sense. He knows what sounds good and what he is looking for creatively, which is the best way for me to work with any artiste,” says Sunny, adding: “The idea was to capture the look and feel of the song in a way that will make our (Taposh and she) individual talents shine beautifull­y. So, we’ve showcased my dancing skills but since he isn’t a dancer, his musical talent has been shown through the visuals of the music video. It was interestin­g as well as challengin­g but we have pulled it off amazingly.”

Interestin­gly, the same song will see Sunny’s husband, Daniel Weber, make his debut as a producer — through the duo’s production house.

“I have produced many projects including commercial­s in Los Angeles as well as music videos with my own music group. So, it’s not a debut in that sense but each project is unique and special in its own way. I love what I do and since I come from a creative and business background, putting things together is always exciting,” he says.

Daniel reveals that he has been a “huge fan” of a televised show called Wind of Change that was broadcast out of Bangladesh. “It’s a Taposh creation that sees best musicians from all over performing with him. I was really amazed with it. It immediatel­y struck me that it would be interestin­g to bring Sunny and Taposh together, so I discussed the same with Sunny,” he says. It’s believed that the song’s video, that has been directed by Sunny Rajani, will see over 100 dancers come together.
