In the latest Bollywood news, director Karan Johar has opened up about the much-talked-about kissing scene in his film “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” between veteran actors Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi. The scene has been a topic of discussion among fans and critics, and Karan Johar sheds light on how the actors reacted to the idea of kissing on-screen.
The Evergreen Shade of Romance
Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” has been making waves with its evergreen shade of romance, breaking away from the pink and monochrome hues of the films “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.” Amidst the buzz surrounding the film, one particular scene, featuring a kissing moment between Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi, has garnered attention and is being hailed as an integral part of the storyline.
The Reactions of the Veterans
When questioned about the challenges in convincing the two actors to perform the kissing scene, Karan Johar shared that it was not difficult at all. Shabana Azmi, being a trooper and a master actor, readily accepted the scene without any hesitation. Dharmendra, on the other hand, was just as accommodating, affirming, “Haan karna hai toh karna hai” (if it has to be done, it has to be done). Both these great veterans performed the scene with absolute aplomb, leaving no room for questions or doubts.
The Chemistry of the Scene
Karan Johar also discussed the significance of the scene in the film. He revealed that the song “Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar” from the 1961 film “Hum Dono” played a pivotal role in the thematic connection between the characters of Rocky (played by Ranveer Singh) and Rani (played by Alia Bhatt). This classic song became the underlying inspiration for the portrayal of romance between Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi’s characters as well.
Aesthetic and Ageless Romance
For Dharmendra, this is not the first time he has shared a kissing scene with an actress. Previously, he had a similar scene with Nafisa Ali in Anurag Basu’s “Life In A…Metro.” Regarding the kissing scene with Shabana Azmi, Dharmendra expressed that he did not feel any excitement but rather understood that it was a requirement of the film and was aesthetically shot. He firmly believes that there is no age for romance, and two people, regardless of age, can express their love for each other through a kiss.
Audience Response
“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” has been receiving a positive response from the audience, and word-of-mouth has been highly favorable. The film is performing well at the box office and continues to grow strong.
With Karan Johar’s insights into the shooting of the kissing scene and the commitment of veteran actors Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” continues to be a much-talked-about film in the Bollywood industry.
