After this, many feel that the 28-year-old, who married his longtime girlfriend Avantika Malik in January, will be seen as the new bad boy in tinsel town.
"In previous movies, there there have been suggestions and gestures to show a newcomer girl going down on a man. However, never before this has been the case with a hero. Imran is doing the boldest scene ever," said a source close to the actor.
Releasing July 1, "Delhi Belly" has been produced by Aamir Khan, and features an ensemble cast including Kunal Roy Kapoor, Poorna Jagannathan, Vir Das and Shenaz Treasurywala. The film is about three friends living together in a bachelor's pad in the capital.
Director Abhinay Deo says the movie is definitely for the "urban class".
"'Delhi Belly' is in English, actually Hinglish - it is 80 percent in English and 20 percent in Hindi. It is primarily meant for the youth, or may I say for the young at heart who still have a sense of humour. It will be liked by people who don't mind accepting a few things about the urban society, and those who have a good sense of humour," Deo told.
