Although India might be known to some as a culturally conservative country, it was quite heartening to see the how Adult movie star Sunny Leone made her small screen debut as one of the participants in the local version of Big Brother earlier this year and was welcomed with open arms. Even though she didn’t win the competition, she definitely was one of the most popular participants. Audiences all over India loved for her sweet demeanor and Sunny ended up landing quite a few movie roles.
The first of which is Jism 2, directed by Pooja Bhatt of which the promos have just released and have taken the Internet by storm racking up 300 000 views in just a couple of days!
The acceptance that was shown to her Big Brother India appearance and subsequent popularity was quite surprising but now that the movie is close to coming out, director Pooja Bhatt seems to be battling with the conservative censor boards and focusing most of her marketing towards the internet.
Two of the song promos released are pretty amazing, visually lush and accompanied by some great tracks, especially “Yeh Jism” sung by Pakistani vocalist (and media personality) Ali Azmat. The soundtrack is composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee, first time music director who used to be a surgeon before this according to Pooja Bhatt’s tweets! And knowing the Bhatt’s excellent taste in music this will be definitely one to look out for!
The plot summary is:
A porn star is hired by a dashing intelligence officer to become a ‘Honey-trap’ for a dreaded assassin. In doing so, she not only has to confront her bitter-sweet past, but is also forced to make an impossible choice – one that will put her own life in double jeopardy.
Here are the promos and some more production stills from the movie, you can head over to Upodcast for some more shots!
