Shailendra Singh's film on physical-relationship guidance will have no sex

16 Jun 2014

Maverick producer and marketing magnate Shailendra Singh's directorial debut Gupta Clinic will feature Saurabh Shukla in a role inspired by Singh himself.

Says Singh with a chuckle, "I am not going to deny the fact that I do like to be known as someone who helps out friends. But my film is only about advice on physical relationship. A recent survey has revealed that 47 percent of the young couples in the country prefer to spend time watching television or surfing the net instead of being with their partners. This is a disturbing trend. We need to examine why this is so. I'd like to think Surabh's character shares my concern for the decline in the intensity level among young urban couples."

Quirky comedies can get no quirkier than this. Long-standing producer Shailendra Singh is all set to turn director with a film on physical relationship.

However the film entitled Gupta Clinic will have no mention of sex.

Says Singh, "Everyone jumped when they heard I was doing a film about a man who offers advice on physical relationships, they thought I was doing a sex comedy based on those self-appointed in those pokey sex clinics in the smaller towns. But my film is not about sex. There will be no mention of the 'S' word at all. I'll be aiming for a UA certificate.
