Ekta Kapoor’s XXX is giving nothing away, save for the fact that Ken Ghosh will be directing several newcomers in the film. The title by itself is giving rise to much speculation. Most feel it’s an erotic thriller, replete with sex and nudity. We’ve found out that the film is segmented into a series of short stories. One of these stories has a penis talking to a vagina.

Chhoti Kahaniyaan
A source reveals, “XXX centers around five short stories revolving around very strong women characters. The film begins with two people telling each other stories. Each story, while under the guise of erotica, tell a tale that comprises a message. The genre of each story is different — from edgy, to thriller, quirky, romantic and even comic. While people are assuming that XXX revolves around erotica and sex, the fact is sex is just a part of each story and moves it forward.”

Kya bolti tu!
About the ‘private’ conversations tale, the source says, “The story about a conversation between a male and female sexual organ, is very quirky in its take.” Adds the source, “There are no double-meaning dialogues in the film, nor is it a sex comedy. It’s a new-age, one-of-its-kind film, something neither Ekta nor Ken haven’t attempted before. The stories have been written by Ken, Tanveer Bookwala (Chief Creative Officer at Balaji Motion Pictures) and writer-actor Mayank Tiwari, who also plays a character in XXX.”

Music matters
The film is complete except for a couple of songs and post production. “In the music department too, Ken and Ekta wanted to be different. Ken apparently listened to 100 songs before finalising four, all composed by new music directors and sung by new-age singers. The music is said to be outstanding as all four are party songs. The uniqueness of the songs are that despite being party songs, none of them have the words daaru or mention of any type of alcohol in the lyrics!”
