Actor
Jay
Bhanushali,
who
will
be
next
seen
opposite
Sunny
Leone
in
Ek
Paheli
Leela,
has
credited
his
stint
on
TV
for
getting
back-to-back
projects
in
Bollywood.
Jay,
30,
made
his
debut
in
Hindi
cinema
with
Hate
Story
2
last
year
and
followed
it
up
with
Desi
Kattey
and
now
Leela.
"Whatever
offers
I
am
getting
in
Bollywood,
they
are
due
to
my
past
work
on
TV.
I
made
my
debut
with
Hate
Story
2
after
my
director
(Vishal
Pandya)
spotted
me
at
Dance
India
Dance
(DID).
"Similarly,
I
got
the
offer
to
star
in
'Leela'
after
Ahmed
Khan
(one
of
the
judges
on
DID)
suggested
my
name
to
his
brother
Bobby
Khan
for
the
film.
I
owe
my
career
in
films
today
to
my
career
on
TV.
I
am
happy
and
proud
that
I
am
from
TV," Jay
told.
In
Ek
Paheli
Leela,
Jay
is
playing
the
character
of
a
musician
opposite
Sunny.
"I
play
a
musician
in
the
film.
His
past
is
creating
some
trouble
and
how
he
gets
out
of
it
is
the
story
of
the
film.
There
are
two
more
male
characters
(Rajneesh
Duggal
and
Mohit
Ahlawat)
in
the
film
and
all
of
them
are
interlinked.
I
opted
for
the
role
because
I
haven't
played
anything
as
such
in
my
career,"
he
said.
