Besides directing Jism 2, actress-turned-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt is ready to lend her voice to steer star Sunny Leone's character within the film.
Jism 2 marks the Bollywood debut of the Indo-Canadian pornographic actress and Pooja says she is dubbing for Sunny's role at the insistence of her father Mahesh Bhatt, who has scripted the film.
"My father and unit insists on not using a 'dubbing artist' with a generic voice but something distinct," said the said the 40-year-old. Pooja says the truth that Sunny's onscreen persona Izna was her creation made it easier for her to lend her voice and emotions to it.
"It was not too difficult for the reason that character she plays -Izna - was created by me. Izna is more me than Sunny," said Pooja.
"People must be delighted! Sunny Leone's body and Pooja Bhatt's voice and emotional quotient. Could one ask for more!," she added.
When asked how comfortable would she be dubbing bold dialogues within the movie, Pooja said, "It depends! I'M a girl after all, and permitted ever so often to switch my mind!"
Pooja won acclaim together with her performances in films like Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin, Tamanna and Zakhm, before turning director with the film Paap in 2004.
Jism 2 is the sequel to the 2003 Bollywood film and is about to release on July 27.
