Dharmendra talks about his kiss with Shabana Azmi in RRKPK and compares it with Rajveer Deol’s lip locks in Dono.
Dharmendra drew a comparison between his Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani liplock with Shabana Azmi and grandson Rajveer Deol’s kisses in Dono.
Rocky Randhawa and Rani Chatterjee had become the talk of the country. The two flamboyant yet culturally disparate characters and their love story had surely touched the nerve of the viewers as their film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani not only garnered good numbers at the box office but also received unanimous love from the critics and the fans. Among all the iconic scenes in the film, one where Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi share a kiss was highly discussed. Now the veteran actor has come forward to compare his on-screen kiss with his grandson’s debut performance in Dono.
The 87-years old legendary actor caught up with the media at a Durga Puja pandal where he expressed, “Films are our medium to connect with the audience. I choose roles that resonate with my heart when they come my way. I don’t know how many kisses my grandson did in his film, mere ek kiss ka shor hogaeya (my one kiss created so much noise),” as quote by the Indian Express.
Back in August, Dharmendra had addressed the simple yet amorous kiss with Shabana Azmi during Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani success press conference. He had said, “Maine sab kuch bata diya hai. Jab captain achcha ho toh tab team khoob khelti hai. Ye insaan saath saal baad aaya hai toh ye apna ‘Jauhar’ dikha ke jayega. Maine jis din ye kahani suni, mujhe laga ye ghar ki kahani hai. Aap kisi bhi character ko pakdo. Ranveer ne jo kia hai, he is a very good actor and a very emotional person. I enjoyed every bit of my time with his unit and aur kya kahu mein, ab toh shehr mein nahi, poori duniya mein charcha hai. Bohot maza aaya. Mujhe logo ke bohot se message aa re hai ki Dharam ji aapne aisa aisa kia toh maine bola yaar ye toh mere baaye haath ka kaam hai.”
For the unversed, apart from the chemistry between the lead pairs Ranveer and Alia, what caught the audience by surprise was a lip-lock sequence between veteran actors Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi. In a particular scene, the two star-crossed lovers meet after years of separation. In the scene, everything around them comes to a standstill as Dharmendra sings the popular retro song Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar and seals their reunion with a passionate kiss.
