Pooja Bhatt has gone out of her way to deny rumors on the presence of John Abraham and Bipasha Basu in the sequel of Jism . Earlier, the buzz was that Pooja had approached John and Bips for the sequel to the hit film. But Pooja has vehemently denied any such development.

She said the two actors never figured in her plans for the sequel.

“ John and Bipasha’s characters die in the film. So they won’t return in any form in the sequel,” she said.

Pooja is reportedly upset about the stories doing the rounds that John had turned down her offer. She claimed that she is fond of both the actors who made their name in Bollywood post- Jism , but doesn’t want to waste them in guest appearances in the film.

“ Jism- 2 is about two guys falling for one girl and I am on the lookout for actors fitting the bill,” Pooja said.

In all probability, she will cast newcomers who have the sex quotient which both John and Bipasha undoubtedly had. The buzz is that she apparently plans to choose the lead cast in a reality show. But Pooja hasn’t confirmed this part of the news.

She is currently busy with the script and so doesn’t want to part with more details.

However, her hunt for actors with the oomph factor is on.

The criteria for selection would be as expected — sex appeal and the ability to sizzle like John and Bips on the big screen.
