Starring Prateek Gandhi, Jack Lamport, Premjit, Ikhlaq Khan and Ajai Rohilla, the film is about two best friends - Ravi and Paul. The two come to India on a vacation and attend an all night gay party. Surprised by the openness of their hosts and the aggressiveness of the guests, the boys fall into the steadily growing Indian gay culture.

'I know I make balanced films. In India, no full-fledged gay film has been released except 'Brokeback Mountain'. I still wonder how they managed to get a certificate to release the movie here,' he said.

His third film '68 Pages', however, has got an A-certificate from the board and he is hoping for a commercial release.

'I wanted an U-certificate for my '68 Pages' - the film is about a homosexual couple, but I have presented it in a sanitised manner. In my film... you won't find in your face sexuality. I wanted college students to see the film because it addresses issues related to them,' he said.

Another director who has made a film on the issue is Ashish Sawhny. His 'Happy Hookers' is a documentary that explores the secret world of male sex workers in the country.

Then there is US-based Indian filmmaker Manan Singh Katohora's 'When Kiran Met Karen'. The cast of the film boasts both Indian and American names like Samrat Chakrabarti, Manish Dayal, Shetal Shah, Chriselle Almeida, Kelli Holsopple, Tirlok Malik, Kevin Byrd, Rekha Brar, Hiral Shah and Ammara Ali.

It is about a Bollywood actress called Kiran who is on the verge of becoming an international movie star until she meets sexy magazine journalist Karen and they find themselves swept up in a torrid affair.

None of these films have been released in India. As Rangayan says, perhaps we will have to wait till the censor board changes it rules. But Rangayan will continue to make films anyway.
