Pooja Bhatt: ‘Jism 2’ will be my ‘Arth’

Pooja Bhatt’s upcoming movie ‘Jism 2’, which is a sequel to the 2003 hit film ‘Jism’, is one of the most eagerly awaited films of this year and the actress-turned-director is hoping her movie would be lucky for her the way ‘Arth’ proved to be for father Mahesh Bhatt in 1982.

“I think and hope that Jism 2 will be my ‘Arth’. It is a coincidence that I am at the same stage like my father. Even he had four films like Naya Daur, Manzilein Aur Bhi Hain and others before Arth but none of them did well,” Pooja told reporters at the promotional event of Jism 2.

Pooja made her directorial debut in 2004 with ‘Paap’. The film did well at the box office but later on her films like ‘Holiday’, ‘Dhokha’ and ‘Kajraa Re’ sank at the box office without any trace.

While speaking on his inclusion, the 40-year-old told the media that she has nothing to lose now because she had four flops behind her.

However, Pooja insisted she is hoping a lot from ‘Jism 2’.

“I have a brand Jism about which there is excitement and interest among the public. The film is looking good, music is liked by all,” Pooja said.

The enormous hype behind ‘Jism 2’ is only because of the Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, who will play lead role in the movie and Pooja also admitted the fact.

“As the film is about porn star, we did not need to establish the film and the character since it is already there in the people’s eye. I think it is the combination of her (Sunny Leone) persona and the brand Jism that the second part looks interesting. If we would have taken Sunny in other film I don’t think the excitement level would have been same,” Pooja said.

‘Jism 2’ will hit the cinemas on August 3 and along with Leone, Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh will play the lead roles.
