MUMBAI: After dishing out films like Jannat and Tum Mile, director Kunal Deshmukh has been roped in to direct his third directorial venture for Vishesh Films.

The film, titled XXX as of now, is a crime thriller that deals with three parallel stories, all of which depict how sex has become a means to an end - whether to achieve money, love or power in the modern urban lifestyle.

While the script of the film is being written by Ankur Tiwari, the casting is yet to start. Apparently, the director is keen to have the script read by various actors before taking their accent on the dotted lines. The film would be set either in Mumbai or Delhi.

Comments Mahesh Bhatt, "Kunal Deshmukh is making a film which plays hell with the 3P‘s (Parent, Preacher, Politician). It‘s called XXX. It explores our city life!"
