Director Ram Gopal Varma spoke about his views on adult film stars, recalling his interactions with actors like Sunny Leone and Mia Malkova, while pushing back against stereotypes surrounding their profession.In a recent conversation with Dostcast, RGV said that although he does not generalise, his personal experiences with some big movie stars have made him admire their “grace” and “dignity”.
He recalls Sunny Leone’s “generous” response.
Sharing an anecdote about Sunny Leone, the director revealed that he once tried to provoke her into criticizing a producer with whom she allegedly had a bad experience.“I remember once when I was talking to Sunny Leone, I heard that she had a bad experience with a particular product.
“So I tried to get her to say something charming about this product,” he said.However, Sunny chose to respond with restraint. “She just said, ‘I’d rather say it wasn’t a pleasant experience.'” “I’ve never heard a more dignified answer,” Varma added.Varma went on to stress that he does not believe in judging people based on their life or career choices.“I’m against judging what kind of lifestyle one wants to live,” he said, adding that people often hold preconceived notions about adult film actors that don’t necessarily reflect reality.
Open to working with Mia Malkova
Sharing his experience of working with Mia Malkova, Varma described her as someone who completely challenges common stereotypes associated with the industry.“When I worked with Mia Malkova, I never saw a more disciplined person than her. She goes to bed at 9 p.m., doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t do drugs, and reads books all the time,” he said.He noted that this lifestyle is “the exact opposite” of what many assume about adult movie stars, who are often seen as over-consumed.

“It requires a different kind of mental strength.”
Varma also spoke about the difference between prostitution and performing in adult films, noting that the latter requires a unique level of mental flexibility.“A prostitute still does something in the dark – no one knows it. But doing it in public on camera for the world to see requires a whole different kind of mind power,” he explained.
For dedicating his book to Tori Black
The director also addressed why his book, Guns and Thighs, was mentioned and dedicated to porn star Tori Black.“At the time, she was among the top names and was on my mind. That’s largely why,” he said, adding that the book was written more than a decade ago.
