Dino Morea will now act and produce

Kolkata: Actor Dino Morea, who turned producer with the erotic thriller Jism 2, said he would continue to act in films besides producing some others.

"I will be doing both producing and acting in films. But I have said no to direction," Dino told reporters here.

Speaking at an event here, Dino said he never used the porn star status of Sunny Leone for promoting Jism 2.

"We never used the tag of a porn star. She was selected because she looks very beautiful and film is a visual medium so we need to be attractive," he said when asked what made him and co-producer Pooja Bhatt select Sunny for the role.

On his stint as a film producer, Dino, best known for the 2002 blockbuster Raaz, said he found the new role to be tougher.

"Whatever the actor does, the consequences are faced by the producer. It is now that I realise all this," he said.

Asked about his next acting assignment, the former supermodel said, "You will see me in a film very shortly."

Describing himself as an ambitious person, he said "I think I am ambitious. I opened an ecommerce site, have restaurants, been into modelling, acting and now film producing," Dino said.
