Everyone is so tight lipped about the cast of Aamir Khan Productions Delhi Belly that it becomes hard to say whether they're making a film or designing the blueprint for the national defence.

We all know that the film's leading man is Aamir's nephew Imran Khan . Beyond that everyone is silent on the cast, including Imran himself.

When asked about the cast he chuckled, "Sorry I'm not at liberty to talk about the rest of the cast besides myself."

Ask him if it's Lisa Ray who was to earlier play the female lead when Ranbir Kapoor was to play the lead.

Shenaz Treasury — that’s what she calls herself these days — is a hippie at heart.

Her “itchy feet” took her away from B-town after the 2006 dud Umar. “This is the second break I took from the biz and I went back to school. I like working hard for a couple of years and then taking off for a while. I travel, live, pursue my interests, work in other countries and then, when I miss home, I fly back, work here and then take off again,” says Shenaz.

She has this uncanny knack of landing roles when she’s busy partying.

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.

Aamir Khan has put wife Kiran Rao's film Dhobhi Ghaat ahead of his nephew Imran Khan's Delhi Belly. Even though the latter is almost ready, Aamir wants to sit on the post-production of Dhobhi Ghaat before Delhi Belly. The actor has asked the team of Dhobhi Ghaat to speed up the work and show him the final copy.

Frustrated
However, Abhinay Deo's Delhi Belly is complete and ready for Aamir to watch. A source reveals, "The team of Delhi Belly is feeling frustrated that Aamir isn't making time to see the final cut.

Last year he was in the news for making filmmaker Rakesh Roshan pay Rs.20 million in a copyright infringement case. But right now composer Ram Sampath is upbeat about more creative things - he is composing 'insane' music for two Aamir Khan Productions' - 'Dhobi Ghaat' and 'Delhi Belly'.

While 'Delhi Belly' is being directed by ad filmmaker-turned-director Abhinay Deo, 'Dhobi Ghaat' is the directorial debut of Aamir's wife Kiran Rao.

'It was really nice and easy working with Kiran since we are very good friends since a long time. She is extremely good at her work and is an incredible filmmaker.
