A
Bold
Statement
In
a
recent
interview,
Rashmika
said
that
the
kissing
scenes
in
Dear
Comrade
are
an
integral
part
of
the
plot
as
the
audience
no
longer
expects
on-screen
lovers
to
go
behind
trees
during
romantic
scenes.
She,
however,
refused
to
clarify
whether
the
kisses
are
real
or
not.
"Gone
are
the
days
people
will
be
satisfied
with
showing
couple
go
behind
the
trees
or
shaking
branches
in
the
romantic
scenes," added
Rashmika.
Vijay
Deverakonda
About
Lip-locks
The
actress
also
said
that
fans
can
connect
with
a
film
only
if
the
lead
actors
behave
like
real
lovers
on
the
big
screen.
Interestingly,
a
few
days
ago,
Vijay
Deverakonda
had
criticised
a
section
of
the
media
for
asking
him
to
comment
on
his
lip-lock
scenes
in
Dear
Comrade.
He
Had
Said
"I
don't
like
the
word
-
lip-lock.
You
guys
write
about
objectification....its
kissing..
it's
an
emotion
like
anger...
when
we
cry
it
is
an
emotion,
when
we
kiss
it
is
an
emotion
and
it's
not
lip-locking...
whenever
I
read
lip-lock..
I'm
like
what
the
f**k...I
really
dislike
it,"
(sic)
The
Road
Ahead
Once
Dear
Comrade
hits
screens,
Vijay
Deverakonda
will
turn
his
attention
to
his
film
with
Aishwarya
Rajesh,
helmed
by
Kranthi
Madhav.
On
the
other
hand,
Rashmika
currently
has
Sarileru
Neekevvaru
and
Bheeshma
in
her
kitty.
Sarileru
Neekevvvaru,
slated
to
release
during
Sankranti
2020,
has
her
paired
opposite
Mahesh
Babu
while
Bheeshma
features
her
as
the
leading
lady
opposite
Nithiin.
She
will
also
be
seen
in
the
Sandalwood
movie
Pogaru.
