It’s 2024 and it seems finally Hindi cinema is ready to see two men romancing on the silver screen. Yes, we have had sporadic movies here and there, with actors playing gay characters, however, Hindi cinema has yet not witnessed an out-and-out gay romance drama a la Brokeback Mountain. And it seems that is about to change. We have learnt, exclusively, that actors Aditya Seal (Tum Bin 2) and Sunny Singh (Pyaar Ka Punchanama 2) would soon romance each other on celluloid.

Titled Amar Prem, the movie is directed by Hardik Gajjar. The director has directed Atithi Bhooto Bhava and a few parts of the TV series Devon Ke Dev Mahadev .

Aditya, best known as Student Of The Year 2, confirms the news. This is the first time Aditya would be romancing a man on screen.

Ask him about his apprehensions about the same and he shares, “10 years ago my opinion and feelings would have completely different. However, as I have grown, met a lot of people, and met a lot of gay men and women, I see two people in love as two people in love. Nothing to do with race, nationality, colour, caste, religion or gender. These things are not in your control. So even romancing a man on screen, was as good as romancing a woman, cause I approached my character as someone in love. Yes, the first few moments of being in an extended tight hug, do take getting used to but that’s the same with a woman. It's about forming a bond with your co-actor which we successfully did.”

He also adds, "Representation of all kinds of romance on screen is important. Love is universal, and every love story deserves to be told. I don't want to shy away from experimental roles as an actor. This is a challenging role, and I am ready to perform it with my heart. I hope this film brings joy and resonates with audiences everywhere."

Sunny, who was last seen in Adipurush didn't respond to our query. The film is currently on floors.
