Actor-turned-director Amol Palekar says his new film Quest focuses on homosexuality.

The film opens with a wife learning her husband is in a homosexual relationship, he told a newspaper.

"We have the tendency of not talking about issues like homosexuality openly. We tend to brush it under the carpet. My way of dealing with things is to face them upfront," Palekar said.

He added he would be dealing with a multilayered issue in his movie as the wife grapples with whether she would have reacted differently if her husband was in an extramarital relationship with another woman.

"People term homosexuality as unnatural. Homosexuality is not unnatural," said Palekar.
