New Delhi: Actor Vir Das is no stranger to risque comedy, but the stand-up comedian who shot to fame with his own brand of satire is miffed with reports that are branding his upcoming film Delhi Belly a sex comedy.
Actor Vir Das is no stranger to risque comedy

The film, which is being produced by Aamir Khan, has been dogged by reports that it is a desi version of American Pie, with actor Ranbir Kapoor reportedly dropping out of the project because of its supposedly X-rated content.

But Das, who is sometimes called the Russell Peters of India, set the record straight. "The film is not a sex comedy, it's not a desi American Pie," he said. As far as the question of risque content goes, I am a comedian who stands up in front of thousands faking a female orgasm and the film is like a family show in comparison."

The comedy revolves around the lives of three men played by Imran Khan, Vir Das, and newcomer Kunal Roy Kapoor. The actor said the trio had as much fun off-screen as they do on-screen.

"We had an illegal amount of fun while working on the film," Das said. "Imran, Kunal, and me are the same generation and totally similar people, we are game junkies and like the same kind of music, so the bonding was great."
