Salman Khan's discovery Zarine Khan is all set to make her debut in the Punjabi film industry with Jatt James Bond.

The second poster of the film is out and actress plays the role of a Punjabi girl in the film.

The actress, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Salman in Veer, will be paired with Gippy Grewal in the film.

Despite Zarine's dream debut and a mentor like Salman, the actress did not have a very successful run in Bollywood. After Veer bombed at the box office, Salman gave Zarine another shot at fame with the item song Character Dheela in Ready. While the film did a good business, Zarine did not get enough adulation for her sexy act in the song.

The actress' next film Housefull 2 did a decent business, but her co-stars Asin and Jacqueline Fernandez stole the limelight.

And given Salman's penchant for spotting new talent and mentoring them, Zarine had no other option than looking for help somewhere else to keep her filmi dreams afloat.

Directed by Rohit Jugraj, the film also stars Vindu Dara Singh, Mukesh Rishi, Avtar Gill and stand-up comedian Gurpreet Guggi.

The film, produced by Fortune House Productions, will hit the screens on  April 14.
