Central protagonist of Jism 2, Sunny Leone, has been seen by one and all in a far more risqué avtar over the internet. One wonders how do the Bhatts presume that her big screen venture would be as enticing where people would want to 'pay' for a dekko of Sunny when her downloads are easily available.
"What else then explains lakhs of hits that the promos and songs have already fetched already? Audience is still curious about Sunny despite seeing her in hardcore videos. That's human psychology coming into play and that's the reason why she is catching everyone's attention. Also, it says a lot about the film as a whole because people are not stupid to pay money for watching something that they can do free of charge on their computers", says Pooja Bhatt.
While to feature her videos online are understandable, don't Bhatts think that audience may feel a tad cheated once they watch her in reasonable clothing on the big screen? After all, porn can't be played on the big screen and there is bound to be a curb on the explicit content, courtesy the film going through the Censor board scanner.
"When you adhere to the Indian censor board guidelines, you can never ever go to the extent of bringing on sexual titillation which is already available online for the consumer. It is impossible to get that kind of imagery. So what do you do? You make a cocktail where you have someone like Sunny along with a definite story and a narrative as well", details the senior Bhatt, "This means that while we have an adult movie actress as one of the important components of the film, she is after all a part of it and not a whole."
Well, we would like to see what does this Cocktail have to offer eventually once the film hits the screens on 3rd August.
