NTR, Rakul comfortable with lip lock
Young Tiger Jr NTR usually avoids doing intimate and lip-lock scenes in his films. But, he was seen very much comfortable in doing couple of lip-lock scenes with his co-star Rakul Preet Singh in today released film Nannaku Prematho.
The first kiss was accidental, although NTR who does lot of math predicts this bit earlier. In fact, NTR challenges about the kiss to Rakul who leaves it as a joke. But, then she stuns when this (kiss) becomes reality.
Then, psychology involves in the second kiss. NTR tests Rakul whether she can control herself when she is kissed. This second kiss was captured romantically and Sukumar dealt it with perfection.
The emotions (heartbeat), actions (trying to control her emotions by holding towel tight) brings romantic mood. Devi Sri Prasad’s music for the particular scene was amorous. In Sukumar’s previous film Arya 2, there was a lip kiss scene between Allu Arjun and Kajal.
But, such scene in Nannaku Prematho is much romantic. Moreover, both NTR and Rakul were seen comfortable in the romantic episode. Meanwhile, Nannaku Prematho has been getting positive response from A class centers, wherein the Sukumar mark narration is somewhat confusing for masses.
