The once widely acclaimed filmmaker to promote his recently released short film, ‘Meri Beti Sunny Leone Banna Chaahti Hai’ has shared an explicit image of the tennis star with captioned the saying:
“A girl told someone,MBSLBCI reminded her of,though she was very good at Tennis her father refused to permit her to play beyond a age because she will have to wear skirts ..The film is about exposing these regressive minds who use a girl’s sexuality against herself. (sic),” he captioned it. Varma linked this post his short film ‘Meri Beti Sunny Leone Banna Chaahti Hai’, which he released on June 3.
