Speaking to News18 about the kissing scene, Dharmendra had earlier said, “I am hearing that Shabana and I have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. I think people weren’t expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact. The last time I did a kissing scene was in Life In A Metro with Nafisa Ali and at that time too people had appreciated it.”

He also revealed that during the narration of the film he realised that the scene was something that the film required. “Age is just a number and two people irrespective of age will show their love for each other by kissing. Shabana and I both did not feel any kind of awkwardness while doing it as it was very aesthetically shot,” the actor elaborated.

Along with Shabana and Dharmendra, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani also features Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and Jaya Bachchan in lead roles. The Karan Johar directorial film has already crossed the 100-crore mark at the box office in the first 10 days of its release.
