'Jism' was based on the Hollywood movie, 'Body Heat' and was John's first film in Bollywood which gave him and Bips, the sexy tag.
Producers Pooja Bhatt and Sujit Kumar were pleasantly surprised when the movie turned out to be a huge success in spite of an unconventional storyline.
The movie based on love and lust, started a tradition for Mukesh Bhatt's Vishesh Films too and thereafter they started making spicy pot boilers like 'Murder, 'Paap' and 'Zeher', all of which did well at the box office.
The buzz is that a sequel to 'Jism' is being planned with three new faces and great bodies.
The sequel too will also deal with infidelity and will be a murder mystery. Mahesh Bhatt had written the script of 'Jism' but the new one will be penned by Shagufta Rafique, who has earlier written 'Woh Lamhe', 'Awarapan' and 'Dhokha'. She has also written the upcoming 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues' as well as 'Sin City' and 'Jashan'.
As of now, the picture is not clear about the new faces of the 'Jism' sequel.
Rafique has said, "We'll take a completely new and absolutely raw cast for 'Jism 2'. We'll launch three new faces and three great bodies in three newcomers in the film."
And that's not all. The producers also plan a 'Jism' franchise which will feature a series of erotic and passionate films with different stories. They say they have 10 scripts ready for the franchise.
There sure are a lot of hot and sizzling stuff to look forward to!
