I'd like to say it's the story, the character, the director and producer. That's important, no doubt. But eventually, it's my gut instinct.

This film is about being straight or not. What do you think about this?

In India, we're under immense pressure to be straight. There's a natural assumption that you are straight. But in a democracy, everyone has the right to be open about their sexual preferences. Tomorrow, can the government tell you what time to brush your teeth, what time to eat and what colour underwear you should wear? They can't.

Films like Kal Ho Naa Ho and Dostana have also touched upon homosexuality. How different is your film?

Straight doesn't make fun of gays. There is an important crisis in this guy's life -- he doesn't know if hes's gay or straight. This film also does away with stereotypes, and doesn't show typical mannerisms.

Homosexuality is the core issue of the film. It's not something we have just touched upon.
