'Boom' director Kaizad Gustad's next movie 'Jackpot' starring Naseeruddin Shah and Sunny Leone is set to hit the theatres on December 13.

Gustad's 'Boom' is famously infamous for his bikini clad model actresses that bombed at the box office.

Kaizad Gustad is the man responsible for launching Katrina Kaif in 'Boom' and is now working with another exotic import from the West – Sunny Leone.

Though 'Boom' did not boost Katrina's film career, it got her noticed to get a foothold in the industry.

Kaizad brought Kat from London into films and gave her a new surname Kaif. The director said when he first signed her she could not speak a single word in Hindi but knew that the hard working actress would make it big in the industry.

After the film, Katrina bagged other projects including Sarkar , Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Namastey London among others and gradually made her place to the top.

After laying low for years Gustad is back with Sunny Leone and 'Jackpot'.

Unlike Katrina, Leone is already a household name in India, thanks to her reality TV stint 'Bigg Boss' and her previous profession as an adult star.

Her debut film 'Jism 2' did fair business at the box office and Leone has been in the thick of things in the industry. The charming lady has become a regular during fashion weeks and a hot favorite as a wedding entertainer.

Sunny Leone’s second film after 'Jism 2' was supposed to be 'Ragini MMS 2'. But producer Ekta Kapoor’s film is now pushed to January 2014.

According to the director, the Indo-Canadian actress is not just eye candy in the film; in fact, she is the mastermind of all that happens in the film.

'Jackpot' is a comic caper which has been extensively shot in Goa.

The trailer is out and Sunny Leone raises the heat with her bold bikini act. Probably out of habit, the director is unable to keep bikini out of his movie.

In an interview Gustad says, "If you have Sunny Leone in your film, it cannot happen that you don't have something sexy about her. But she is not just a prop or background or eye candy to look pretty (in the film)."

The trailer doesn't give away much of the plot but we hope the film is interesting enough to hold the audience.
