Directed by Rajeev Chaudhari, the film would also star Rajniesh Duggal. This is Rajniesh and Sunny's second film after Ek Paheli Leela.

On touching base with Rajeev, he stated "Sunny's character has a lot of shades in it right from a young ambitious working girl to a rich high profile business tycoon who bravely fights her way up to the top! It's a journey of experiences of today's working woman who has to manage her work, love and tackle tough challenges of life!

Since Sunny plays a working woman in the film, she even worked as an intern at a friend's firm in La recently (when she was on a break for 10 days) to get the nuances right.

Adult star turned Bollywood actress Sunny Leone's films have worked well and have been successful too. From Jism 2 to Ragini Mms 2, her films have thoroughly entertained the masses and Sunny has already left her mark in the industry.

At an interview, Sunny was asked if that has helped her or made her more confident on trying new things to which she said, "Because I feel I have done everything backwards and I am not a typical Bollywood actress entering this industry, everything that I could have done wrong I have done wrong. So, for me if I get to do a chance to do something different, I will do something different."

"If I believe in the story and I love it for whatever reasons, then I honestly do believe that it will do well. One of my movies was not a success, it was a big reality...

Sunny made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with "Jism 2' followed by "Jackpot", that released last year.

I just read the scripts and if I like the film, if I like the director, which is a huge deal for me, why should I not work in a film? And if that means being sexy, then its alright.

"If that means being crazy, scary, happy, so be it," the actress told reporters here.

Mumbai, Jan 17: Singer-rapper Honey Singh, who teamed up with adult star Sunny Leone for the song "Chaar bottle vodka", wants the actress to perform action stunts in a film a la Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz.

Sunny has so far had two Bollywood releases - "Jism 2" and "Jackpot".

The comprehensive breathtaking bio-pic on Olympian athlete Milkha Singh has found an unlikely dissenter in thespian Naseeruddin Shah who has for reasons best known to him, lashed out at Bmb, calling it and Farhan Akhtar's performance, "fake".

The remark has raised the hackles of many notable individuals in the entertainment industry. One of Naseer's old co-stars said, "Naseer should focus on the quality of his own work. After doing Jackpot he is in no position to pass judgment on any film, let alone one that has deeply moved and inspired Indians and non-Indians across the world."

Farhan's step-mother Shabana Azmi who has worked extensively with Naseer in some of the most influential films of Indian cinema says Naseer's opinion on Farhan's performance and the film are not appreciated.

New Delhi, Dec 16: Neither veteran actress Dimple Kapadia's "What The Fish" nor adult films star-turned-actress Sunny Leone-starrer "Jackpot" managed to pull in audiences to theatres over the last weekend. Both films failed to meet expectations, say experts.

Puneet Sahay of Spice Cinemas says both the films didn't do good business.

"We thought the films will at least have an occupancy of 50 percent, but even during weekend, the percentage didn't go beyond 15. 'Jackpot' had 12 percent occupancy and 'What The Fish' got only 10 percent," Sahay told Ians.

Co-produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Kumud Shahi Malik.

"This time the fashion show along with the exhibition was cherry on the cake. Audience had a great time watching it. Sunny looked absolutely stunning and gorgeous in the red lehenga. She is indeed a true.

After the release of her film Jackpot, Sunny has other plans as she would be visiting Us soon. Along with her husband Daniel Weber, the actress is now planning to open a boxing gym at Los Angeles. Accompanying them in this venture would be the famous boxing champion The Terrible Terry Norris along with his wife Tanya. Apparently, the actress had come across the couple while working out and now, they are planning to join hands to fulfill Sunny's dream. The two couples will be cracking a deal as soon as Sunny returns to Us.

As was very obvious, the two prominent releases of the week, the Naseeruddin Shah, Sunny Leone and Sachiin Joshi starrer Jackpot and Dimple Kapadia's What The Fish, have both failed to register even half decent collections. Comparatively speaking it was the Kaizad Gustad directed Jackpot that fared better than What The Fish.With Yash Raj Films' Aamir-Katrina starrer, Dhoom 3, all set for a bumper opening next Friday, both Jackpot and What The Fish have negligible chances of su...

Talk about old devils haunting you for long. This is what happened for filmmaker Kaizad Gustad who, after Boom, wanted to pitch Jackpot with potential producers and actors. Though it is businessman turned actor Sachiin Joshi who ended up picking the film, it wasn't without his fair deal of apprehensions.Kaizad was trying to get in touch with me for many months but then I was busy with Mumbai Mirror. I was aware that Kaizad had made a couple of films in the past and though I h...

Film: "Jackpot"; Cast: Naseeruddin Shah, Sachiin Joshi and Sunny Leone; Writer-Director Kaizad Gustad; No Rating

So here's the bottom line. Sunny Leone hardly ever strips in "Jackpot". The film is not about skin show. It's more about scratching smooth surfaces to get to the evil avaricious core of the human heart. Everyone is greedy in Kaizad Gustad's film, some more than the others. And every character is an imposter.

If you like films where a briefcase stashed with currency notes is tossed around with the cast in frenetic pursuit (think Guy Ritchie), then this is the film you would probably want to check out.

Noire cinema gets a twist in the tale. Ten years after his controversial and colourful "Boom", Gustad takes.

Mumbai, Dec 13: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was spotted at the premiere of adult movies star-turned Bollywood actress Sunny Leone-starrer "Jackpot", hopes to work with her someday.

I will take it... I don't care if you think I am horrible... I will.

Sachiin and the Indo-Canadian adult film star shot for an episode of "Lai Bhari" on Marathi music channel 9X Jhakaas. During the shoot, Sachiin was questioned in Marathi and he had no problems answering in the language.

"If I may say so, then yes, 'Jackpot' is a conscious effort to make a commercial film and to get into that zone. I have not made a film like this before. It is different from my previous films," Gustad told Ians.

Mumbai, Nov 25: The censor board has axed "Eggjactly" from being used in Sunny Leone starrer "Jackpot". However the Indo-Canadian adult film star says it is a family film and doesn't "require censorship".

The worst fears have come true for Javed Jafferi's rap song in Jackpot, which is titled 'Eggjactly'. A risque number that took an anti-corruption stand while also being as double meaning as it gets, 'Eggjactly' was always sitting on a live bomb. However, even though producer-actor Sachiin Joshi felt that Censor Board would be able to see humour in the song, he was only hoping against hope as in the very first listening, the song was banned from being included in the film.

"The moment Censor Board members heard 'Eggjactly', they were shocked. Reason being that the song picks up everything from Commonwealth scam to politicians sticking to their chair to India going bankrupt since Independence in 1947 to many unfortunate incidents that have taken place over the years in cities like Bhagalpur, Bhopal, Godhra, Ayodhya and Mumbai, to name a few. Not just that as Bofors and Lokpal haven't been spared either.

Mumbai, Nov 14: Adult film star Sunny Leone, who has given some bold scenes in her upcoming film "Jackpot", says sexiness is not about showing skin.

"Each one of my hot scenes is sexy and beautiful. Unfortunately, sometimes sexiness gets confused with how much skin you show," the 32-year-old said here Wednesday at the trailer launch of "Jackpot".

"In my eyes, sexiness comes from how you act and how you dress. It's not about how much skin you show," she added.
