Pakistani star Fawad Khan maybe in demand with filmmakers in India but he is unable to meet the call for intimate scenes in Bollywood.

While he gave his nod to Dharma Production's multi-starrer Kapoor and Sons' he is uncomfortable getting too close to Alia.

Karan Johar's 'Kapoor and Sons' also stars Sidharth Malhotra and the story revolves around two brothers who fall in love with the same girl.

While rumoured couple Alia and Sidharth has an intense lovemaking scene in the film Fawad is not up for it.

The Pakistani actor has asked the makers to tone down an intimate scene between him and Alia.

Directed by Shakun Batra, the movie is set to go on floor in April.

Mumbai Mirror quoted its source, "Fawad is not comfortable with the idea of getting physical in reel life. Even in his TV shows, 'Humsafar' and 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai', which are romantic family dramas, there's no kissing or touching involved. The sex is implied. Both his leading ladies get pregnant, though they only drink chai. Fawad is extremely sensitive to the sensibilities of his conservative countrymen and has told Shakun and Karan to water down the scene, to rely on allusion rather than actual action. And during his next visit to Mumbai they will sit down and work together on the scene to ensure that it does not spark off any controversy later."
