The plot of the film revolves around the illegal arms trade in northern parts of India.Speaking to mediapersons, Bhatt said the issue is serious but has been tackled in a light hearted way.The character of Sonu Dilli, played by Emraan Hashmi, is a man who has all the knowledge which he has not gathered from books or degrees but has gathered that knowledge by living on roads. But he has a heart of gold within his body, where love blossoms. This is the story of such a man and this movie will make you laugh, will keep you on the edge of the seat and will also make you cry, said Bhatt.Hashmi said he has received acceptance from audience in the last two-three years.This is an evolution of cinema; they have started accepting different kinds of subjects and I think Jannat is a testament to that. Seven years back, the movies that I used to work in was called bold cinema. People from the industry criticised me, some conservative people used to criticise me, they all want to watch Jannat. So, its an evolution and people who ha shun me off and my cinema, have now accepted Jannat 2 as an all round mainstream film, said Hashmi.The film is directed by Kunal Deshmukh, who made his debut with Jannat-1, which was a blockbuster at the box office.The movie also stars debutant actress Esha Gupta as the main lead who startled everyone with her charms at the event. The former Miss India finalist Gupta would make her entry in tinsel ville with this film.Hashmi went gaga praising Gupta saying she is a talented actress and has added emotional conflicts to the film.
