We
have
heard
of
heroines
backing
off
and
refusing
to
do
kissing
scenes
in
Bollywood.
But
according
to
the
source
on
the
sets
of
Strangers,
surprisingly
Jimmy
Shergill
backed
out
of
the
lip
lock
scene
with
Nandana
Sen
on
the
day
of
the
shoot!
According
to
reports,
it
was
supposed
to
be
a
very
emotional
intimate
moment
between
Jimmy
and
Nandana
that
culminates
in
the
lip
lock.
Director
Anand
Rai
had
earlier
explained
to
Jimmy
about
the
scene
which
required
the
actors
to
kiss.
Though
the
director
was
a
bit
skeptical
whether
Nandana
would
do
it,
he
was
apparently
caught
off
guard
when
Jimmy
refused
to
do
it.
But
director
Anand
Rai
justifies
his
lead
actor,
"Though
I
had
explained
the
scene,
I
understand
that
actor
sometime
are
not
comfortable
doing
intimate
scenes
on
screen.
When
I
set
out
to
make
Strangers,
I
was
clear
that
my
film
was
about
relationship.
Therefore
a
kissing
scene
with
Nandana
or
the
semi-nude
scene
of
Sonali
Kulkarni,
though
important
for
the
emotional
turmoil
the
character
goes,
I
was
always
flexible
for
options
and
pointers
from
the
star
cast."
When
Jimmy
was
asked
for
his
reaction
he
clarified
that,
when
he
heard
the
initial
narration
from
the
director
he
was
sure,
it
wasn't
a
must
do
sequence
in
the
film
and
made
it
clear
that
he
didn't
want
to
do
it.
According
to
him
even
the
director
understood
it
and
was
cool
about
the
whole
issue.
Lip
lock
or
no
lip
lock
in
Strangers
seems
like
Jimmy
Shergill
joins
the
bandwagon
of
actors
like
Salman
Khan
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan
who
do
not
kiss
on
screen!!
Strangers
produced
by
Sahara
One
Motion
Pictures
is
slotted
to
release
on
December
7th
2007.
