When Sushant Singh Rajput made his big Bollywood debut with Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che! in 2013, television czarina Ekta Kapoor, promised his co-star from Pavitra Rishta that she would launch him in Bollywood with equal fanfare. Two years later, Rithvik Dhanjani, who starred alongside Sushant in the popular soap for six years, will make his debut in Ken Ghosh's erotica, XXX, being produced by Ekta.

"Rithvik play a casanova with magical powers that has girls flocking to him," reveals a source close to the film.

The TV actor who won Nach Baliye Season 6 last year, is the first male actor to sign Ekta's much-talked-about nudity clause. Kyra Dutt was the first actress to sign on the dotted line. Rithvik has agreed to a full frontal nude scene. "You will definitely catch a glimpse of his bare butt in the film. But still, the girls will reveal a lot more than the guys," adds the source.

In an interview to Mirror (April 8), writer-director Ken Ghosh had revealed that XXX has five different stories with Kyra as the narrator. Now, Mirror has learnt that Rithvik's character, a charismatic vagabond, too will appear in all the five stories which will see him have four different sexual escapades.

""His character binds the stories together and steams up the screen with not one but multiple actresses," reveals the source.

So where will Ekta and Ken draw the line?

"There will be no depiction of oral sex! Even with clever cinematography, neither Ken nor Bollywood is ready to handle the kind of sex scenes we've seen in Hollywood films like Basic Instict, Wild Things and Blue Valentine."
