Back from locations in Sri Lanka shooting for the
garma-garam new Pooja Bhatt erotic thriller Jism
2 Randeep Hooda is hell bent on proving that the
Bhatt protege Emraan Hashmi doesn't have a
monopoly over erotic activities in the films
produced by the Bhatts. Randeep, we hear, is giving his all-and we mean ALL-to the love-
making scenes with Sunny Leone in Jism 2.
Says a source from the location, "For Randeep it's
very simple logic, really. He is a method actor.
When he played a sozzled cop in Jannat 2 he was
so much into the bottle that he had to kick the addiction at the end of the film. Now when he's
got scorching love scenes with a lovemaking
expert Sunny Leone, Randeep has pulled out all
stops to make the sex scenes look authentic."
Apparently when Randeep was asked how he'd
cope with Ms Leone who is an expert in love- making on camera, Randeep retorted, "I can teach
her a trick or two." Randeep refutes the raunchy
remark and confesses, "All I said was, 'She's not
the only expert'. And I maintain that. I am
certainly making every effort to be as convincing
in Jism 2 as I was in Jannat 2." In Jism 2, Randeep plays a character named Kabir,
the same name was given to John Abraham in
Jism. Randeep plays an expert lover, a first-rate
shooter and, curiously a Cello player. Quite a lethal
blend.
Explains Randeep, "Quite often you find these ruthless assassins have an artistic side to them.
So my super-talented director Pooja Bhatt
decided that my character kills and plays the cello
in his free time." Randeep of course took Cello
lessons and plays the instrument well enough to
keep his Jism 2 team in Goa regaled. Says Randeep, "Yes, I can play the cello and I play it
here for those who care to hear me."
Nowadays after the resounding response to his
performance in Jannat 2 Randeep gets a lot of
attention. Says the actor philosophically, "While I
accept all the praise gratefully and gleefully I can't allow it to go to my head. I didn't allow failure to
break my heart. So I wouldn't allow success to
bloat my head. I can't hold on to the praise I'm
getting for Jannat 2. It will bog me down. I
believe in an ancient fable about a seaside
monastery where the monks created the most beautiful figures with sand and pebbles and the
moment one figure was made they destroyed it
and moved on to another. I too need to re-invent
my skills constantly in an unbroken stream."
For the role of the angst-laden cop in Jannat 2
Randeep worked double hard on his dialogues. "It was Jean-Luc Godard who said there are two
performances by every screen actor. One that the
audiences see and the other that they hear. When
I finished what I had to do on screen I went back
to my character and gave his emotions a voice."
For now it would be only edgy gritty characters for Randeep. "I tried the light comic stuff in films
like Love Khichdi and Mere Khwabon Mein Jo
Aaye. It didn't work.When my films were run
down to the ground,why should I not tap my
forte when I finally on my feet again? Don't
worry,there's plenty of angst in here. "
