Allu Arjun says no to kissing scenes
The Race Gurram actor, who became a father last year, made it clear that his decision to avoid lip locks onscreen has nothing to do with his fatherhood
Be it Bollywood, Kollywood or Tollywood, lip locks have always generated a lot of buzz around a film. Telugu film industry’s heart throb Allu Arjun, who has done quite a few kissing scenes in his career, has spoken against this trend. The actor surprised everyone when he announced that he wont be doing lip lock scenes anymore.
While many speculated that this decision against lip locks is because of the newly attained fatherhood, the Race Gurram actor clarified that his stand has nothing to do with his son.”I’ve always been against lip-locks and I’ve said as much even before my wedding. If you notice, the lip locks in my previous films have all been central to the script. So I couldn’t reject them,” stated Allu Arjun.
“Thankfully, the kind of films I’m doing cater more to the family audience. I believe kissing scenes hamper the reach of such films. I find it awkward when an intimate scene comes up while watching a movie along with my family. The same holds good for the masses as well. So I realised by doing such scenes I’m actually limiting the reach of my films,” added the Rudhramadevi actor.
When questioned if he is looking to shed his lover boy avatar, the actor quipped,”I don’t think there is any connection between playing a romantic hero and physical intimacy onscreen. Shah Rukh Khan is the greatest romantic hero of our times and he has never done a lip lock.Audience like love stories, not physical intimacy”.
Looks like the family man Allu Arjun has a new found concern for family audience.
