In an interview with The Times Of India, he explained why he had refused to take his clothes off in Hisss, despite claiming he is comfortable with sex scenes.
He said: "When Jennifer Lynch wanted me in the buff for a lovemaking scene in Hisss, I told her that in India, we sleep with our clothes on. The film’s milieu is an orthodox South Indian family. I have no qualms about nudity.
"I’d strip for that kind of a role. I’ve no problems if a film is about titillation and has nudity. But I’ve a problem when a film is finding an excuse to titillate. Besides, how many women are dying to see me naked on screen?"
