'For me, it's not just the matter of Jacqueline showing immense confidence in her first ever movie, but the fact that she has very good screen presence and her look can be tweaked around being Indian or Western as per the demand of the situation. For me, that's her biggest selling point,' Mansukhani told IANS.

While the Sri Lankan beuaty is yet to get concrete offers, she is certainly making her presence felt in the film industry.

Jacqueline, who was crowned Miss Sri Lanka in 2006, has been academically inclined as well - apparent from her degree in Media and Communications from Sydney, Australia.

Ambitious to the core, she had once stated: 'Being independent and accomplished was imperative to me and I always demanded the best of myself. Perfectionism is my strongest asset.'

That's something which is clear from her choice for her debut film 'Aladin', which is a co-production of Eros and Ghosh's Boundscript and stars none other than Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt along with Riteish Deshmukh.

'Well, the journey has just begun. Last one year was quite happening but now it is going to be even more exciting times with 'Aladin' being round the corner,' said Jacqueline.

She follows 'Aladin' with Milap Zaveri's directorial debut. She has also been approached by several brands for endorsements.
