India's Roman Catholic Church, worried about traditional values breaking down in the country, has joined hands with Bollywood to make a movie highlighting the dangers of risky sex.
The Hindi-language film, made in trademark Bollywood style with songs, dance and melodrama, includes an HIV-positive character and is titled Aisa Kyon Hota Hain (Why Does This Happen?).
The film, set for release in July or August, is the brain-child of Dominic Emmanuel, a Catholic priest and spokesman for the Delhi Catholic Archdiocese.
He says it is "the first ever instance" of India's Roman Catholic church producing a commercial film.
