Sunny Deol says ‘my dad can do anything’ as he reacts to Dharmendra-Shabana Azmi kiss in ‘RRKPK’

Actor Sunny Deol recently opened up about actor-father Dharmendra’s kissing scene with Shabana Azmi in filmmaker Karan Johar’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, which was released on July 28.

In an interview with NDTV, Sunny said that he had not watched the Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer yet, but had heard about his father's kissing scene with Shabana.

Sunny Deol told NDTV, ‘My dad can do anything and he’s the only actor I would say, who can carry it off. I didn't see it, I have heard about it. I have not watched the film. Filmein itni dekhta nahi hoon main (I don't watch films much). Main khud ki picture kayi baar nahi dekhta (I often don't watch my own films).’

When asked if he had spoken to his father about the scene, Sunny said, ‘No! I mean how can I talk to my dad about that? He is a personality, who can... kuch bhi cheez carry kar sakte hain woh (He can carry everything)... because of his humbleness, honesty...’

Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra play lost lovers in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, who reunite after years as their grandchildren – Alia Bhatt's Rani Chatterjee and Ranveer Singh's Rocky Randhawa– fall in love.

Shabana and Dharmendra's kissing scene has been making headlines ever since the film’s release.

Earlier, Dharmendra had opened up about his kiss with Shabana Azmi and 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 added, ‘When Karan narrated the scene to us, I did not get excited (laughs). We understood it and I realised that it was something that the film required and wasn’t forcefully put in and I said I will do it. Also, I believe there is no age for romance. 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.’
