However, he is quick to add that director Anu Menon will aesthetically film love scenes. While justifying the story and keeping his producers, Fox Star Studio and Goldie Behl’s Rose Movies happy, the film will also not make his wife Ayesha uncomfortable or upset his more conservative Pakistani fans.

A few years ago, another Pakistani actor, Meera, had drawn flak from the country’s moral guardians and even got threatening calls for daring to lock lips with co-star Ashmit Patel in her first Hindi movie, Nazar. More recently, Veena Malik also whipped up a storm of protests by getting cozy with Ashmit on the Colors reality show 'Bigg Boss'.

“Since it is about two people falling in love and the natural progression that follows anywhere in the world, it will be a little more daring than my first two films. However, it won’t have anything that’s offensive, obscene or attention-seeking,” he assures. “My personal conscience sets the limits, beyond which I would never venture.”

So no sizzling lip-locks of the kind Hrithik Roshan and his Mere Brother Ke Dulhan co-star Katrina Kaif exchanged in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara? “No way!” he exclaims, adding, “London, Paris, New York may be a love story about today’s youth, but it won’t have uninhibited kissing and love-making scenes. It’s a film you can take your family to without having to squirm in your seat.”
