Mahesh Bhatt compares 'Jism 2' to 'Last Tango In Paris'

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has seen the final cut of "Jism 2" and feels it is on a par with Italian romance drama "Last Tango In Paris", known for explicit sexual content.

"Just showed my father the final cut of 'Jism 2'. His comment 'Jism 2' is India's answer to 'Last Tango In Paris'," tweeted "Jism 2" director Pooja Bhatt.

"Last Tango In Paris" featured Marlon Brando as a widower who develops a sexual relationship with a woman without knowing anything about her.

Though the story of "Jism 2" is diametrically different, the movie is expected to have a lot of steamy scenes featuring Sunny Leone, Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda.
