If reports are to be believed Mahesh Bhatt is going to offer the lead role in Jism 2 to Sunny Leone on Bigg Boss on monday night. The episode could be telecast on tuesday.
Mahesh Bhatt stated the same in an interview with IANS. Read on...
“I am not casting her for her body, but I see that loneliness and heartbroken soul that is behind that smile. The entertainment business itself is not a cakewalk, so the p..(Adult) business would have been a really tough ride for her. I love casting people who are real. People who have gone through highs and lows to reach a stature where people look up to them for their hard work. Sunny is being shown in a bright light with an exotic image on television, but I sensed that she must have gone through a lot to earn a name in an industry which people don’t appreciate.”
”Jism 2 narrates the story of a woman who transcends from the ‘body’ to the ‘soul’. I wanted to approach an actress who not only has the physical attributes but also the emotional ‘edge’ to carry off the complexity of the role. I see Sunny as a perfect fit for the film and the script. Had approached Bipasha Basu and Mallika Sherawat for the role earlier, but things didn’t work out.”
“Announcing a film is as important as any other aspect of filmmaking, whether it be releasing it or promoting it. Bigg Boss is a great platform to reach a wide audience. And we thought it was the right time to approach her.”

P.S. Sunny Leone entering Bigg Boss and then being offered Jism 2 seems pre-planned.
