Khan says his next production, Delhi Belly, is a bold film, but it doesn't show any skin. The star was keen to do a role in the movie, which he believes will re-define the genre in the Hindi film industry. "It's of course for adults, but there is no skin show. Neither have we made girls wear small clothes, nor are there any bold scenes. I think it would change the definition of bold films in Hindi cinema," Khan said at the launch of the theatrical trailer. This is his first production which is not family entertainment. "My films had normally been family films or they had a social message. This is our first film which is certainly not for children because it has obscene language. We applied for adult certification for the film and we have got that. "It's not even for those who have reservations about curse words. I myself don't use such words or language, but it fits the script. It's a very irreverent film, but it has humour in it." Delhi Belly, which stars Imran Khan, Vir Das and Kunal Roy Kapoor, is directed by well-known ad filmmaker Abhinay Deo. Khan says: "I had seen Abhinay's ads. So I was really impressed with his work. Abhinay liked the script and that's how he came on board." He feels Deo has done justice to the script written by Los Angeles-based Akshat Verma. "As a producer, I am very happy with the way Abhinay has made the film, showed humour and made it more exciting. I think he has fully justified the faith we had in him." Said Khan: "I was dying to do a role in this film. I regret that I didn't work as an actor in this film. I wanted to do the role of Kunal Roy Kapoor. But the character is supposed to be fat and sloppy. "I just didn't want to put on weight, as I have worked very hard to lose it."
