Sunny Leone | Raaz 3 | Mahesh Bhatt | Kunal Khemu | jism 2 | Jacqueline Fernandez | Emraan Hashmi | Bipasha Basu SHARE AND DISCUSS Tweet Mahesh Bhatt More Pics Some of his finds have been very successful (read Emraan Hashmi and Bipasha Basu) while others like the Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez have rejected him and walked out of his films. Yet, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt maintains that he continues to be in the business of finding talent. Critics say that films under your banner are getting too formulaic. This is also the year of sequels, with Jannat 2 and Raaz 3 coming up.
What do you have to say? Seldom has there been a film that did not rely on a formula. Even mainstream filmmakers have a certain formula, but I've always insisted that our films have a dramatic angle.
We are cashing in on our franchises, but there is also a continuation of the story. Does Sunny Leone have the potential to match Bipasha's standards in Jism 2 ? Sunny is an extraordinary girl.
She will be seen in a different light in the film and will reveal a simple, naive side that the audience is yet to discover about her. She is definitely the surprise package of the film.
Has Sunny been signed for two films under your banner? No, after completing "Jism 2", she is free to do whatever she wants and with whoever she wants. Has Jacqueline parted ways with the Bhatt camp, given that she walked out of "Raaz 3"? Well, Jacqueline walked out of the film for her own reasons.
We have no problem with that. We make films that cater to a certain audience.
Is Kunal Khemu the next bankable star in your banner? Kunal is one of our in-house actors and we will be focusing more on him. I have a feeling his next film will be like a springboard for his career and you will see more of him in the future
