Mahesh and
Pooja Bhatt want the adult film actress to shed her clothes for the opening scene of the forthcoming venture; a sequel to the 2003 hit erotic thriller starring John and
Bipasha She became the most searched name on the Internet with her entry into
Bigg Boss 5. And now, international adult film actress Sunny Leone might just appear on the silver screen, the way she appeared in all those search results. Mumbai Mirror spotted
Pooja Bhatt explaining Sunny her introduction scene in
Jism 2, the sequel to the 2003 erotic thriller
Jism, in a
Colaba 5-star recently. And the 'explanation' could be summed up in just one word - nudity.
Cashing in on her 'porn star' status, Pooja wants Sunny to pose nude for her upcoming project. And on Tuesday afternoon, the filmmaker and her father Mahesh Bhatt carried pictures to demonstrate how exactly they wanted Sunny to feature in the opening scene of the film. Mumbai Mirror found out that Pooja's company, Fisheye Network has done a photo shoot with an unidentified model in the nude (as seen in the picture) lying down under transparent sheets. According to the filmmakers, this picture, eventually shot with Sunny will become the first look of the film.
Father and daughter Bhatt were seen having a rather animated conversation with Sunny, with the elder Bhatt explaining (rather loudly) the scenes and the script. Sunny, too, looked rather excited about the project. Though Sunny has no qualms about shedding clothes, as she recently told in an interview with Mirror, the actress has still not signed the film. "The contract is being readied. The modalities are being fast worked out. So far so good. Pooja and Sunny are on the same page," said Mahesh Bhatt.
And just in case Sunny fails to be a part of the project, according to sources in the industry, Mallika Sherawat is the second choice for the filmmaker. A source close to the film told Mumbai Mirror, "The Jism poster with Bipasha Basu's honey coated legs became the talk of the town nine years ago. The poster of Jism 2 has been readied. The final poster will be readied with the actress who eventually signs the film."
Meanwhile, Pooja has shown the current poster to many A-list stars in film business. "They were stunned by the aesthetics and sheer audacity of the design," revealed the source. When contacted, Pooja said, "There is no reason why any actress under the sun should be apprehensive about a sequel to Jism or a design as path breaking as this. They would be in the best hands, creatively and aesthetically."
