Jism 2: Mistreated lover can become an animal

New Delhi: The Bhatt camp is known for its racy thrillers; ‘Jism 2’ is no exception. The film is about a porn star Izna (Sunny Leone) trapped in between a cop and a dreaded assassin. Arunoday Singh, who was noticed for his role in Sudhir Mishra’s ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’, is playing the cop who falls in love with the porn star.

After doing a small role in ‘Sikandar’, Arunoday played the second lead in ‘Aisha’ but his character in ‘Aisha’ was nowhere close to his role in ‘Jism 2’, how did this transition happen?

“I think it happens with every film. I think people see you as something and then they only like to see you as that something. Like when I did ‘Aisha’ everybody wanted me to cast as a model boy. They wanted a guy the heroine is with at first but eventually leaves him for the hero. I got a lot of similar offers after ‘Aisha’, similarly after ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’, everyone wanted me to cast as an old Delhi goon, the jatt,” says Arunoday Singh.

Here, the first stills from the upcoming erotic thriller 'Jism 2' directed by Pooja Bhatt. From the looks of it, calling it bold would be an understatement!
Mahesh Bhatt had approached Sunny Leone in the TV show 'Big Boss' where she was a housemate, to offer her a role in this film.
While director Pooja Bhatt said she signed Sunny for the same reason she signed John Abraham for 'Jism' (2003): instinct.
Later Pooja Bhatt signed Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda to co-star Sunny.
Although the film is a sequel to 'Jism' (2003), Mahesh Bhatt compared it to Italian romance drama 'Last Tango In Paris'.
Actor Arunoday Singh made his Bollywood debut with Sikandar (2009), but gained popularity after Sudhir Mishra's 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' (2001).
Surprisingly, director Pooja Bhatt said recently in an interview that 'Jism 2' would be like her 'Arth'!
Director Pooja Bhatt believes in showing boldness as it is, with no double-meaning and no toilet humour.
The smokin' hot chemistry between Arunoday Singh and Sunny Leone is evident from the promos.
Clearly not a 'family film', Pooja Bhatt said that 'Jism 2' is a film by the adults and for the adults.
In the promo of the film, Sunny Leone plays a seductress who traps the male leads Arunoday and Randeep, just like Bipasha Basu had in 'Jism'.
In 'Jism 2', Arunoday plays an intelligence officer, Sunny plays an adult entertainer, and Randeep Hooda plays an assassin.
In 'Jism 2, not just Sunny, but Arunoday bares all too!
The plot revolves around an officer who hires an adult entertainer as a honey-trap for one of the most dreaded assassins.
Pooja Bhatt also tweeted that the film has not been affected by the censor cuts that she made "upon my own discretion".
Did you know that before Sunny started working in the adult entertainment industry, she worked at a German bakery, a Jiffy Lube and later at a tax and retirement firm!
She first got introduced to an adult magazine photographer while she was studying to be a paediatric nurse!
The film is one of the most awaited releases this year, and audiences are waiting to see if Sunny can prove her mettle in the acting profession.
Pooja Bhatt stated that there will be one section of people who will come to see only Sunny Leone, while the other will come to watch the erotica in the film.
The film is set to hit the theatres on August 3, 2012.

Jism 2: Mistreated lover can become an animal

Actor Arunoday Singh says that \'Jism 2\' showcases all types of emotions, not just Sunny Leone\'s skin show.

But you suited the character in ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’?

“Yes, that’s my job but my job is also to look for new roles. I will do it once but I won’t keep doing the same thing. Kuldeep is nothing like Munna, Munna is nothing like Ayan, so variety works for me.”

Does your character go through a lot of transitions in ‘Jism 2’?

“He is a sophisticated, suave guy who becomes an animal. It’s the theme of the film that a man can become an animal if his love mistreats him.”

What made you interested in ‘Jism 2’?

“I saw a very powerful exploration of what happens in reality. In adult relationships, the minute sex gets involved, becomes so fraught with tension, insecurity, doubt and fear that it becomes very hard to keep things level. It’s very hard to not become jealous, and I have seen this happening with a lot of people in real lives, so it makes ‘Jism 2’ a very interesting film. With all your pre-conceived notions it’s fair enough on part of the people to go for the film for a different reason but the script that Mahesh Bhatt has written is equally very deep, so I liked the mixture, on one hand it’s ridiculously superficially commercial and on the other hand it’s a really nicely written script, that’s why I signed the film.”

Sarcasm seems to be your natural style.

“I think that seems to be my thing, even if I don’t try to make it obvious it just comes out in the characters I play. I guess your personality always bleeds into the character, (Smiles) it’s true; I am very sarcastic, I am sure it will come out in ‘Jism 2’ also,” explains Arunoday Singh who hails from a well-known political family.

You’re playing a political goon in ‘Ek Bura Aadmi’.

“Ek Bura Aadmi is about a young boy called Munna Siddiqui in UP. He is a little sentimental and feisty character; he has a connection with someone called Raghuvir Yadav, who is a local ward member. Raghuvir helps local people and is like second father to me. I become his muscle though he doesn’t like it but anytime he wants a work to be done, I become his helping hand, like if a doctor refuses to see a patient I come and threaten him to burn down the hospital. He yells at me and beats me but I don’t listen. I try my best to convince him to run for the post of MLA. Raghuvir doesn’t like to get involved in dirty politics but eventually the election comes. The story is about what happens to these man after that.”

Are we going to see a lot of Arunoday Singh this year?

“The only thing I know at this point of time is that I will be doing another film with Sudhir Mishra. I am not sure when is that film going to the floors. He is pretty much a closest thing to being my father in the industry. I love him very much and I adore his brand of cinema. He has been in the industry for so long but he has never compromised on the kind of cinema he wants to make. He doesn’t even need to give me a script.”
