New Delhi, March 3 (PTI) Actor Vinay Pathak's upcoming film, "Straight - ek tedi meri love story" may be about Pinu who is confused about his sexual orientation, but the actor insists that the film is "not a gay movie." "It is not a gay film. It is one-of-a-kind romantic comedy which has never been made in India," Vinay Pathak told PTI.

The story of the film revolves around Pinu Patel (Vinay Pathak) who is a well-off businessman but is insecure about his sexual orientation because he has never been in a relationship.

When asked whether he did research for his role or met anyone with such complexes, the versatile actor said, "The script was so fantastically written that I had no need to research about it. Moreover, life experiences helped a lot as I have met people who are homosexuals during my career." Interestingly, Pathak's film comes at a time when Bollywood is waking up to the issues of homosexuals and films like "Fashion" and "Dostana", are being welcomed by audience with open arms.

Pathak who is known to be popular with multiplex audience, states that his films are not made for a particular audience. Neither he fancies the idea of the two genres in fimmaking like commercial cinema and art cinema.
