William Levy is returning to the dance floor for his new upcoming feature film, Salsa. The Cuban heartthrob will be partnering up with Jada Pinkett-Smith, who will produce and star in the movie about a woman at a turning point in her life who meets a salsa teacher and begins to love life again.

Pinkett-Smith and Miguel Melendez will produce for Overbrook Entertainment, and production will begin first quarter of 2014. Pinkett-Smith most recently produced The Secret Life Of Bees and Free Angela And All Political Prisoners, and she is exec producer of Queen Latifah's CBS daytime talk show, which premieres September 16, 2013.

When it comes to playing "Latin lover" characters, the father-of-two told Latina Magazine, "Maybe in the future I'll do something different, but for now I love showing Hollywood this side of Latin culture. We're not just one way. Some of us speak like this. We like to have fun, we can be romantic and we can be naughty."

Levy recently completed two films, "Addicted" and "Tyler Perry's Single Moms Club," which will both be released later this year. He is currently filming a new telenovela for Univison titled, "La Tempestad." The new Spanish-language series will premiere in June.

He recently filmed a new commercial for Pepsi in which he played six different characters. Levy has also been seen in telenovelas such as "El Triunfo del Amor," "Cuidado con el Angel" and "Sortilegio."
