Plot
Francis (Sachiin J Joshi) packs in the muscle and has a can of beer always close at hand. He is also street-smart enough to impress Maya (Sunny Leone), the oomphy voice of reason in the movie. Boss Man (Naseeruddin Shah) is a veteran raver whose clothes are as colorful as his principles and punchlines. Slow in speech but quick to draw a six-shooter, he owns the Jackpot casino.

Censor Board axed the rap song 'Eggjactly' from the film as it was a bit vulgar, though the video of the song was released online.[8] The premiere of Jackpot was held at PVR Cinemas in Juhu, Mumbai, on 12 December 2013 to which Shahrukh Khan, Urvashi Sharma and other celebrities came.[9][10][11] Sunny Leone promoted the film in various cities like Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Bangalore (Inorbit Mall).[12] Sunny Leone and Sachin also promoted the film on the shows 'Bigg Boss 7' and 'Comedy Circus Ke Mahabali'.[13][14][15]
