Once, Onir sir was discussing all this and how there are going to be intimate scenes and actors should let him know if they are comfortable. Vidur: There is a lot of sanitisation that happens when it comes to showing stories about queer folks. They celebrate their desire and are not ashamed of it. Working with a queer actor brings along experiences that enrich the scene and the film. That said, I really wanted to cast a queer actor, because the film shows tender romance between a gay couple. They have no qualms about playing a rapist but playing a gay man onscreen is an issue for many. Many of them say that this won’t be the right move for them at this point in their career.
I’ve noticed that male actors get a little awkward and uncomfortable doing intimate and romantic scenes with other men. Onir: This would have happened with WeAre (the sequel to I Am) itself, had the film not got delayed.
