Think of James Bond in Casino Royale, Ranbir Kapoor in Saawariya or Shah Rukh Khan in OSO. There is a stark similarity in all these films. It’s the man, not the woman, who is the sex symbol here. The year 2007 saw the male nude as the big draw, perhaps for increasingly gay audiences.

Forty-two-year-old actor finely sculpted like Adonis, Bollywood’s very own Marilyn Monroe. And with him, this fresh-faced towel clad Kapoor boy, who decided to bare it all stopping just short of a full monty.
