Television actor Jay Bhanushali has signed on to play the lead in the upcoming Sunny Leone starrer 'Leela'. Jay made his bollywood debut in the recently released 'Hate Story 2' and with the film getting a good response at the theatres; the actor is already moving on to his next film.
'Leela' is apparently a period film directed by Bobby Khan and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Ahmed Khan and Shaira Khan. The romantic dance musical will have Sunny playing a princess and Jay will be seen playing her romantic interest. 'Pizza' actor Akshay Oberoi might also be seen in the film.
Jay, who started off with roles in television serials, became popular when he started hosting Zee TV's hit dance reality show, 'Dance India Dance'. The actor wants to break away from his television image of a fresh faced innocent hero with bold roles in films like 'Hate Story 2' and 'Leela'.
