Nothing wrong with sex comedy, I am okay to do it: Saif

June 16, 2014

Mumbai, Jun 16: Actor Saif Ali Khan said he is fine doing a sex comedy provided it is funny and not vulgar. "Sure, why not. It will be nice to do it (sex comedy) if it is not vulgar but should be funny. Comedy is a liberating thing so anything can be funny... but it can be little dangerous as well, because there is no dignity and respect sometimes. I feel it shouldn't be dirty," Saif told PTI.saif ali khan

The actor said there is nothing wrong with sex comedy films. "I think people are nervous to talk about sex but they should and be normal," he said.

Saif would be next seen in Sajid Khan's comedy film 'Humshakals'.

"I wanted to work with Sajid (director). He works very hard to entertain people. He makes all India kind of comedy films like 'Heyy Baby', 'Housefull'. So you want to do films that are wider in reach and have an appeal," Saif said.

He said 'Humshakals' is different from his previous films where he showed up the funny side of his acting but the roles were 'urban', something that suits his personality.

"There are three roles and I am playing three different personalities. Normal things do not interest Sajid," Saif said, adding the film is his first full-fledged comedy role.

The 'Dil Chahta Hai' actor has also done mimicry of lot of actors including his father-in-law, Randhir Kapoor.

"It is difficult to do mimicry. I don't think I am a good mimic (artist), I think Riteish Deshmukh does it well. I never paid attention to these things. I did not tell my father-in-law about it. He hasn't seen it yet. I think imitation is highest form of flattering," he said.

Los Angeles: Kevin Feige may have confirmed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will be getting its first transgender superhero but the Marvel Studios has said there is no definite timeline for that.

During a Q&A at the New York Film Academy, a fan had asked Feige about whether the studio plans to introduce LGBTQ characters into the MCU, "specifically the trans characters".

To this, the Marvel Studios president had replied, "Yes, absolutely, yes... And very soon. In a movie that we're shooting right now."

But sources in the company clarified to Variety that Feige only confirmed the first part of the comments that a trans character will appear in the MCU in future but he did not give a time period.

Though Feige did not reveal the name of the project that will introduce a LGBTQ character, fans speculate that he may have been referring to "The Eternals".

The film, which will feature an ensemble cast of Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington and others, is set to unveil a gay superhero in the MCU.

Marvel Studios has been making efforts to incorporate more diversity in its films after the success of "Black Panther", which featured a virtually all-black cast, and its first woman-fronted superhero movie "Captain Marvel".

"Avengers: Endgame", which became the highest grossing movie of all-time, had featured the MCU's first gay character, a cameo by director Joe Russo.

In 2020, the studio has two releases -- Scarlett Johansson-starrer "Black Widow" and "The Eternals" -- which have been helmed by women directors.
