Sunny Deol instructed NDTV about Dharmendra, “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.

Dharmendra on kissing scene with Shabana
Earlier, Dharmendra had opened up about his kiss with Shabana Azmi and stated that there was no awkwardness in the course of the shoot. Dharmendra instructed News18 in a latest interview, “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 had 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.”
