Former porn star turned Bollywood actress Sunny Leone has been praised for her work in her next release "Beiimaan Love."

"Beiimaan Love" director Rajeev Chaudhari recently praised 33-year-old Indo Canadian actress for her brilliant work in the movie. "She performed very well in all her films and in this film too. But in this film, she has done something out of the box. She has done a substantial job which is going to become a new track for her. That's what I feel," the filmmaker said, Indian Express newspaper reported.

Chaudhari also compared Leone with Bollywood's leading actresses Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. He rated Leone's acting performance in "Beiimaan Love" as her best so far. "This is Sunny's best performance till date. She has acted tremendously as good as Deepika and Priyanka. She has done justice to the role. She is fantastic. You'll watch her soon." Chaudhary said. Apart from Leone, "Beiimaan Love" also stars "Ek Paheli Leela" fame Rajneesh Duggal and Leone's husband Daniel Weber. The erotic thriller is slated to release on September 30.

The "Jism 2" actress is looking to revive her struggling Bollywood career with "Beiimaan Love" after series of box office disasters including "Mastizaade" and "One Night Stand." Leone is currently busy shooting for a romantic film "Tera Intezaar" opposite superstar Salman Khan's brother and actor Arbaaz Khan, Times of India reported. She will be also doing item numbers in Shahrukh Khan's next "Raees" and Ranbir Kapoor's "Fuddu."
