What’s the big deal in showing your behind: Rajit Kapoor

Unhappy with the way homosexuality is portrayed  in our films, actor Rajit Kapoor  has decided  to  take matters into his own hands.

Rajit Kapoor has agreed  to play a  gay character for dear friend Deepti Naval who is making her directorial debut in Do Paise Ki Dhoop Chaar Aane Ki Baarish.

Rajit says, “All the gay characters in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion were effeminate. Even this actor  in Onir’s new film (Rajit names a committed serious Bengali actor) is just showing off in his performance.”

Apprently none  of her actor friends were willing to play the  gay character in Deepti’s film.

Says Rajit, “I was  helping  Deepti with her script when I  was struck by what a wonderful and humane story it  was. I had  only one condition. That the gay character should not be shown as a stereotype like in most of our films.”

He adds,  “What is the  big deal  about showing your behind on screen while playing a gay man? I  did that  aeons ago in  The Train  To Pakistan. And I  wasn’t even  playing  a gay character.”
Rajit is ready  to  be asked about his  sexual preference once  the film is  released.  “I’m sure I’ll get twenty calls asking if I am gay. Would they ask me  if I was a serial killer if I played one?”
