Shabana and Dharmendra have earlier shared screens in films like Mardon Waali Baat, Khel Khiladi Ka and Swami.

Talking about the viral kissing stint, Shabana told Zoom, ¡°I never thought it would create such a fuss! People are laughing and cheering when we do the kiss. While shooting it was never an issue. It is true that I haven¡¯t kissed much on screen before. But who wouldn¡¯t want to kiss a man as handsome as Dharmendra?¡±

Azmi further talked about the audience¡¯s positive reception to RRKPK and shared, ¡°It¡¯s a completely new experience for me. The kind of enthusiastic messages I am getting about my role, the film is being appreciated by sections who normally look down on commercial cinema. This is the first time I¡¯ve been in a Karan Johar film.¡±

¡°The amount of subtext the normally snooty sections of Indians are reading into Karan¡¯s film is nothing short of astonishing.¡±

Other than this dynamic duo, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani stars Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Jaya Bachchan, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly, Aamir Bashir, and Kshitee Jog in pivotal roles. The film is going great at the box office and is inching towards Rs. 50 crores within just 4 days of its release.

In the same interview, Shabana also addressed if her husband Javed Akhtar had any apprehensions about the kissing sequence. She shared, ¡°Oh he was not bothered. But what bothered him was my rowdy behaviour. Throughout the film, I was applauding, whistling, cheering and shouting. He was like, ¡®I don¡¯t know this woman sitting next to me.¡¯ I went insane with excitement.¡±

Other than RRKPK, this year Dharmendra also played the character of Salim Chisti in Taj: Divided by Blood. Shabana will be next seen in R. Balki¡¯s Ghoomer.
