I play a bold, sensuous girl in 'Murder 2': Jacqueline Fernandez

Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez who has worked in three films but hasn’t had much luck at the box office, is now pinning her hopes on the sequel of Murder to catapult her into Bollywood’s big league.

She is the Bhatts’ preferred choice over Mallika Sherawat - whose passion play with Emraan Hashmi was one of the reasons why many folks flocked to theatres to see the 2004 flick - for Murder 2, to be directed not by Anurag Basu, but by Mohit Suri.

“The character I play is balanced. She is bold. She is sensuous. She is clever. But at the same time it's a character every girl can relate to,” Jacqueline said while talking about her character. She was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of ‘Let's Design season ��" 3’ programme.

Jacqueline is not unaware that there would comparisons drawn with Mallika Sherawat.

“We all know what ‘Murder’ did for Mallika... It's natural that people will make comparisons and it's also natural that it will make me quite nervous and put me under pressure,” Jacqueline candidly admitted.

But what spurs up her confidence is the fact that the Bhatts are behind her.

“They are very cool. They are like family. I am just looking forward to the shoot as I know that I am in good hands,” she said.

The sequel will once again star Emraan Hashmi.
