Known for presenting sexy sirens to the film fraternity, Vishesh Films this time is banking upon the looks of ex Miss India International winner Esha Gupta. She will play the wife of Emraan Hashmi who has a knack for getting seriously intimate with wives on the silver screen, irrespective of the fact that whose wife is it. The music department will be supervised by Pritam Chakraborty who always seems to be in hurry to come up with chart busters. Either Pritam always has enough material in his arsenal or he is simply brilliant at creating instant music.
Up for grabs, the video is a passionate bed sequence showing Emraan Hashmi getting cozy with Esha Gupta. From unzipping Esha’s clothes to kissing her non-stop, Emraan shows his expertise in doing such onscreen canoodling. Clinging on to each other while lying in the bed, the duo has shared some passionate liplocks. The newbie Esha Gupta has also made an impression that if required she has no qualms in going bold. The scene hints at her being topless in the bed as she makes love with Emraan, who plays her husband.
Jannat 2 director Kunal Deshmukh promises sizzling chemistry between the movie's lead actors Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta. He claims that they will be the talk of the town when the film hits the screens.
" 'Jannat 2' is about arms trade, but it's not some serious expose or anything like that. In fact what people should look out for is the chemistry between Emraan and Esha," said Deshmukh.

"I feel everyone will talk about that once they watch them on the big screen," he added.
The video of a few songs, featuring Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta, including "Tu hi mera" and "Tera deedaar hua" were screened at the music launch.
Emraan Hashmi graduates from fixing cricket matches to an arms dealer in Jannat 2, but also plays a loverboy, who ardently loves his lady, played by Esha Gupta. The recently released images from the movie are mainly from the hit romantic track Tu Hi Mera.
Emraan is too perfect, emoting the passion of a lovestruck boy, while Esha looks exotic with her subtle sensuality in these latest stills. Since the pair brings certain freshness to the film, their sizzling chemistry is the cherry on the top. Also Emraan has shot for steamy scenes with Esha Gupta in the film.
Shot mostly in Delhi, Jannat 2 revolves around the arms trade and gun culture in the capital. Emraan and Esha shot in some historical places of Delhi. The glimpses of India Gate, Dilli Haat and Qutub Minar are visible in these stills.
The album's music is soulful and revitalising, bringing together elements of Sufi and Bollywood beats. Pritam as a musician has not too much freshness to offer, but he succeeds to impress by doling out catchy tunes wrapped around the dreamy lyrics of Syed Quadri.
The album kicks off with "Tu hi mera". Sung by Shafqat Amanat Ali, it is a Sufi number peppered by beats that you might have heard before. But still, it manages to hold your attention from the beginning because of the sheer brilliance of Shafqat's voice. The chorus too is exquisite. But as a listener one expects more variations in a song that Pritam has avoided. He has played safe and produced a regular Sufi number, which it will still manage to get a good position in the music charts.
Next is "Tera deedar hua" and it is a showstealer. An awesome track, it is a perfect blend of the fantastic voice of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan interlaced with subtle qawwali tunes. It will surely strike a chord with youth with its fast paced music and romantic flavour. Full credit goes to Pritam for doing justice to the mesmerizing track.
Having said that, the song starts with a tune which reminds you of the Bryan Adams hit "Summer of 69" (another rip off maybe). But still it's a wonderful track nonetheless.
It also has a "From the heart" version by Javed Ali, which is catchy, but nowhere close to Rahat's.
Next on the playlist comes "Tujhe sochta hoon" by KK, which is simply a class apart. A slow and sensual number, it is about love and the pain of separation. The lyrics provide depth to the beautiful song that brings back the magic of Pritam and KK.
Riding high on the success of "Rockstar", Mohit Chauhan lends his touching voice to "Rab ka shukrana". The sensitive touch of his voice flows down your heart and mind.
It also has a reprise version sung by Anupam Amod.
After that is "Jannatein kahan", which is a like a continuation of "Zara si" from "Jannat". It is full of electronic and dubstep sounds, something one doesn't usually come across in Bollywood music. It also has a power ballad version that is equally compelling.
The final verdict - another goodie from the Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt camp, which is sure to steal a good number of hearts through its music. Thumbs-up to "Jannat 2" music.
Imran Zahid, who was in news for bagging the lead role in Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt's now-delayed "Chandu", says his dream is finally coming true as he is making his debut in their Jism 2.
"I play a narcotics detective in 'Jism 2'. I am looking forward to starting work on it. There's excitement and nervousness," Imran Zahid told IANS.
"Jism 2" is being produced by Pooja Bhatt's Fish Eye Network and also features Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone.
"As a youngster, I watched (Mahesh) Bhatt saab's films. I am a small town boy. I am from Bokaro. For me, it's a big thing to work with someone like him and Pooja, whose 'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin' I watched as a youngster.
"Bhatt saab is like a godfather, and I am really looking forward to 'Jism 2'," he added.
Imran Zahid was first roped in by the Bhatts for "Chandu", a biopic on slain Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student activist Chandrashekhar Prasad. But it was put on the backburner.
He was also considered for Jannat 2, and finally Imran will make his debut with "Jism 2".
"Chandu" is also expected to go on floors anytime now, especially as three people were recently sentenced to life imprisonment in the Chandrashekhar Prasad case.
The verdict has given a closure to the film's script, says Imran.
"We will start the film soon. We have a closure now, so the required changes will be made in the script. When and where we will shoot for the movie will all be planned by Bhatt saab in a few days perhaps," he said.
Imran, a former Delhi University student, has already researched well for the lead role in "Chandu".
"I went to Siwan (in Bihar), and met a lot of people who were close to him. People gave us several insights into his life, and apparently he was very fond of movies as well.
For now, he will get busy with the shoot of "Jism 2", which will begin April 1.
