Actors Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh have been roped in to star opposite adult film actress Sunny Leone in "Jism 2", the sequel to co-producer Mahesh Bhatt’s hit 2006 film, "Jism". Says Mahesh, "Yes. They both suit the roles perfectly well and hence they have been approached."

According to Mahesh, he persuaded his producer-director daughter Pooja to rope in Randeep after watching his performance in the yet-to-release Emraan Hashmi film, "Jannat 2". "He has acted very well in that film. And Arunoday has the physical attributes and sensitivity needed to deliver what we expect from this role."

Being a little reluctant on his much-talked about film, Mahesh says, "One male character is dark and brooding and the other has a more flamboyant, swashbuckling personality. Sunny will be shown playing the role of a diva."

"Jism", which was released in 2006 starring Bipasha Basu and John Abraham was a big box-office success and it helped in garnering a huge fan following for both of them.
