Randeep Hooda talks to IBNLive about ‘Jism 2’ and difficulties he faced while shooting for the film.

Q: The poster of ‘Jism 2’ features you in a sexy avatar.

A: I am glad; it’s probably my sexiest picture. We just shot that picture without knowing that it would become the poster for ‘Jism 2’. I am happy that I am at least wearing something.

Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh starrer 'Jism 2' will be released on August 3, 2012.
'Jism 2' is a sequel to Bipasha Basu and John Abraham's 'Jism', which was released in 2003. Sunny Leone hopes to match the standard that Bipasha has set with 'Jism'.
Adult entertainer Sunny Leone makes her Bollywood debut with 'Jism 2'. Undoubtedly, she is the USP of the film.
Sunny Leone took part in a reality show named 'Bigg Boss 5', and she got lucky when filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt decided to offer her 'Jism 2'. The film also stars Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh.
Writer of 'Jism 2', Mahesh Bhatt says that Sunny Leone was shy and uncomfortable while filming the lovemaking scenes with Randeep Hooda in 'Jism 2'.
The Indo-Canadian adult star of Punjabi origin surprised the entire crew of 'Jism 2' with her shy behaviour during the shoot.
'Jism 2' will see 30-year-old Sunny Leone as seductress Izna.
Sunny Leone's real name is Karen Malhotra. In 2010, she was named as one of the 12 top porn stars by a popular international magazine.
As the sources claim, Sunny Leone plays an adult entertainer in 'Jism 2' as well. An intelligence officer hires her to catch a dangerous murderer.
This brings her face to face with her past and she is forced to make an impossible choice, which can also put her life in danger.
As everyone knows Sunny Leone as an adult star, she is anxious about how she will be perceived by the world as an actress.
Sunny Leone wants to move on from being an adult entertainer and is looking forward to a career in Bollywood. No wonder, Sunny is working hard on her Hindi as well.
If the reports are to be believed, Sunny Leone will also be seen in the sequel to 'Ragini MMS'.
Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda has done many lovemaking scenes with Sunny Leone in the film. As Mahesh Bhatt claims, it wasn't easy for him as well.
Sometime back he posted on Twitter, "Just finished a major lovemaking scene for @Jism2. Extreme, exhausting and exhilarating. Hope we can turn people 'on' all over with it."
Randeep Hooda has shot some bold sequnces for his previous films like 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster', 'Rang Rasiya' and others.
Let's wait and watch if Randeep Hooda and Sunny Leone can overshadow 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' star Arunoday Singh in the film.
'Jism 2' has grabbed headlines since its inception. Recently it was announced that the wardrobe of the cast will be auctioned for charity, including their underwears.
Director Pooja Bhatt calls 'Jism 2' a director-proof script. She chose the picturesque locations of Sri Lanka to shoot the film.
The erotic thriller 'Jism 2' is jointly produced by Pooja Bhatt and Dino Morea.
The first promo of 'Jism 2' received an 'A' certificate from the censor board. Reluctant to tone it down, Pooja Bhatt decided to release the promo on internet.
'Jism 2' will hit the screens on August 3, 2012. Do you think Sunny Leone will be able to prove herself as an actress with 'Jism 2'.

$Randeep wants to become a sex symbol with \'Jism 2\'$

Randeep Hooda rubbishes the claims of being stereotyped and hopes to emerge as a bankable actor with \'Jism 2\'.

Q: Any particular reason behind such an image makeover.

A: We were in Pooja Bhatt’s kitchen, making our drinks, after the script was narrated to me. I said to Pooja that I have been doing action in theater, films, here and there but with ‘Jism 2’, I want to become an iconic sex symbol. She said, “I promise that you’ll be,” and she has kept that promise in the film.

Q: Do you enjoy the ‘sexy’ tag?

A: It’s not for me to enjoy, it’s for people. Sorry, I don’t look at myself and masturbate, I don’t in the mirror and say ‘O you sexy thing.’ It’s good for business; you get more work, more money.

Q: You have done lip syncing in ‘Jism 2’.

A: Lip syncing in ‘Jism 2’ was really difficult for me. I used to have this in my contract that I would never lip-sync but I have done so in this film. I learnt a new music instrument for ‘Jism 2’, I can at least play the ‘Maula’ song on it.

Q: Your critics feel that you’re doing the same kind of roles, aggressive and straightforward, in every film.

A: I don’t give a damn about being stereotypes. People might say that all these roles are the same but I know all of them are different from each other. Even my cop roles are different from each other. People who think that I am going to be stereotyped are not the people I am catering to.

Q: You are also very active in the theatre world.

A: I have written a play ‘A walk in the Woods’, Naseeruddin Shah is action in it, Ratna has directed it. I do theatres; I have just done a play ‘Alms and the man’.
