Indo-Canadian adult films star-turned-actress Sunny Leone is known for her bold and sensuous image, but she hopes that the audience appreciates her acting talent more in her forthcoming film "Jackpot".

 

 "'Jackpot' is a very story-driven movie. It's a fast-paced film that moves extremely fast. It's not just about being sexy for me in this movie. Hopefully, they (audience) get to see a different side where my acting is appreciated a little more," the 33-year-old said here Tuesday.

 

 "I hope that happens. I hope when people watch 'Jackpot', they see that I did work really hard. I spent days and nights making sure that I learn these lines frontwards and backwards, or at least try," she added.

 

 In the Kaizad Gustad directorial, Sunny will be seen opposite actor-producer Sachiin Joshi. The film, releasing Friday, also stars Naseeruddin Shah.

 

 Sunny made her Bollywood debut with 2012 film "Jism 2".
