However, the confusion occurred when Emraan confirmed his presence in the film, producer, Mukesh Bhatt denied it and director Kunal Deshmukh pretended to be completely ignorant of the matter.

According to the grapevine, tentatively titled as 'XXX', the movie will feature three stories on sex and crime.

Emraan wants to shed his serial kisser image?
Earlier, Bhatts have worked with Kunal and Emraan in ‘Jannat’ and ‘Tum Mile’. While ‘Jannat’ was declared a hit, ‘Tum Mile’, got mixed reviews from the audiences and critics.

Rumor has it that the film will be made on the lines of Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Love, Sex Aur Dhokha’ and will bring out the reality of Indian porn industry.

A source close to the Bhatt camp informed, "The film is two steps ahead of Kalyug and is based on the porn industry in India. The plot has three stories. Emraan Hashmi is not doing the film, just like he was reluctant to do Kalyug initially."

“He also backed out of Dibakar Banerjee's film Love, Sex Aur Dhokha because he is not comfortable with sex scenes anymore. He wants to change his 'serial kisser image'. The film has been made on the lines of Love, Sex, Aur Dhokha and stars only fresh faces," he added.

Producer Mukesh Bhatt confirmed the news saying, "Yes, Emraan is not doing the film. It's because Kunal Deshmukh wants to work with fresh faces."

When asked if Emraan backed out to change his image, he sarcastically added, "He cannot come out of it. Salman Khan cannot do away with his stud image. People have got their own slots. They cannot change their image."

Kunal interested to cast Emraan in 'XXX'
Director Kunal Deshmukh, who is already planning a sequel to ‘Jannat’ with Emraan, is still scripting the film, and finalizing the cast, but, the ‘Murder’ actor has seemingly given his final nod to the project.

When the actor was approached by a popular tabloid to ask whether he was a part of Kunal Deshmukh's 'XXX', the actor sent a rather strange text saying, "Yessssssss, I am doing XXX."

In fact, Deshmukh cited a completely different story saying, "I have not spoken to Mukeshji about casting yet. I am still working on the script. Once the script shapes up, only then I will work on the casting."

When asked if Emraan was doing the lead role in the porn film, Kunal said, "No, Emraan has not said yes to my film because he hasn't read the script. I have not spoken to Emraan because he is in Bangkok.

"We have done Jannat and Tum Mile earlier and we share a great rapport, but I haven't pitched the idea to him for this one. I am waiting for the script to get ready first."

Wondering who the actress will be!
