It is not just some scenes, but a full-blown romance.' I told him I understood the need to show the romance between two people the way it actually happens. I told him you don’t have to worry about it, because I’m a queer person and I understand the requirements as an artist as well. Vidur added to it by saying, 'There is a lot of sanitisation that happens when it comes to showing stories about queer folks. They celebrate their desire and are not ashamed of it.'
Working with a queer actor brings along experiences that enrich the scene and the film. In conversation with the Times of India, Onir opened up about his intentions of casting a queer person, he shared, 'I really wanted to cast a queer actor, because the film shows tender romance between a gay couple. This also marks Vidur's debut in Bollywood and covers an interesting storyline spanning a decade-long journey and all the romantic experiences gathered along the way. He has now gone a step ahead and roped in Vidur Sethi - a Delhi-based queer individual for his next project titled Pine Cone. One such person from the industry is filmmaker Onir who has earlier gained recognition with films like I Am and My Brother Nikhil.
