What’s Irrfan doing in a cheap sex film?

Another dose of sleaze awaits filmgoers this Friday with editor-turned-director Omprakash Makkar's directorial debut Mr 100% — The Real Player, starring Aryan Vaid and Mahima Choudhary.

The film revolves around a gigolo Rajesh (Aryan) and his wife (Mahima Choudhary), who is ignorant about his profession.

From childhood, he is shown as being sexually exploited, even by his teachers. Eventually, with the help of an experienced gigolo, played by Irrfan Khan, he enters this profession. He is so good at his job that that people start calling him Mr 100%.

He meets Payal Rohatgi, who owns an ad agency and tries to get him out of his profession, but eventually falls in love with him.

Things go haywire when his wife learns about what he does and Irrfan Khan is diagnosed with AIDS.

Just what is an actor like Irrfan Khan doing in this sex film? As far as Mahima is concerned, she has clearly been reduced to C grade movies like this one.

Another dose of sex and sleaze is the last thing audiences need.
