Director Pooja Bhatt has confirmed that Indo-Cannadian porn star Sunny Leone will play the lead in her new film, Jism 2.

Leone came to limelight in India with her stint in the fifth season of controversial reality show Bigg Boss.

She was offered a role in the movie when Mahesh Bhatt entered the show briefly to meet her but it wasn't official at that time.

"Hey everyone! So excited to be working on 'Jism 2'. Remember to follow @jism2 to get all the movie news first," she tweeted.

While Leone plays the female lead, the film will have two male protagonists. The Bhatts now are in a dilemma over who to sign.

"While my dream that is Jism 2 comes closer to realization with Sunny Leone my nightmare with regards to casting my two leading men begins. Finding one 'man' in this business is tough enough and we need to cast two in Jism 2! I suspect strongly that it is masochism that drives me," Pooja said.
