Director Rupesh Paul has got together an impressive cast, which includes Nasser, for his forthcoming bi-lingual, Kamasutra 3D . Following Saint Dracula 3D , Rupesh will direct a story that revolves around a young and beautiful Indian princess, who sets out on a voyage in search of her husband whom she got married to as a child. “On this voyage on a luxurious ship, the princess undergoes a transformation of mind, body and soul. She is introduced to the forbidden world of sex and sensuality by a fellow passenger,” says Rupesh. In a parallel story, Nasser plays a Rajput king who loses all his wealth and kingdom, save the palace he lives in. “He is an extraordinary actor who loves to challenge his previous roles. In the king’s role, he is prone to hallucinating that he is still the monarch of all he surveys. Because of this he is unable to marry off his daughter. In the neighbouring kingdom is a rich Mughal emperor whose advances towards the Rajput princess are loaded with sexual innuendos. He tempts the king with riches and the latter falls for it,” says Rupesh.
