There’s absolutely no question about the fact that Dhoom 2 is bigger than the earlier film, packed as it is with sensational set pieces like Hrithik’s breathtaking skydive in the film’s opening scene, or that almost poetic bungee drop with Hrithik and Aishwarya, or even that thrilling bike chase in the tunnel which ends with them gliding over a helicopter’s blades. He finds a partner in fellow thief Aishwarya Rai with whom he’s planning a big theft, but the question is, can he trust her completely? Straight out of those good old James Bond films, the thief in question Hrithik Roshan is a cucumber cool conman who uses everything from fancy gadgets to unique disguises to get his job done. It is a cat and mouse chase once again but in the new film, police officer Abhishek Bachchan and his faithful ally Uday Chopra are in hot pursuit of an International thief, one who steals the queen’s crown from a running train in Namibia, a coveted diamond in a Mumbai museum, and some precious coins from an archeological display in Brazil. It’s made into this separate entity from a scene, it’s not very comfortable in our screenplay,” she added.Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Uday Chopraīigger and better – that’s what we’ve been promised from Dhoom 2, this week’s big new Bollywood release, director Sanjay Gadhvi’s sequel to his hit 2004 entertainer. “It almost looks like it’s a planned moment, just to make much ado about a moment or to excite the audience. Even our actors, it’s very rare that actors look comfortable in our cinema on screen kissing,” she said. “A lot of actors have kissed before that movie, they continue to kiss on screen till this very minute, but public display is not that common in Indian culture. Rai added that while on-screen kisses are becoming more common in Bollywood, it will still be a long time before they become the standard. I was actually quite convinced about it but I still said okay, if I have to go down this path let me first do it in our cinema, in an Indian piece of cinema, and let me see if all my doubts are true, and they were,” she said. “And I was quite sure even my audience was not very comfortable with me doing it on-screen. “It was around the same time that the interest in the western world from Hollywood, or European cinema, English cinema, from the industry there was a lot interest in me and the possibility of me working overseas, and I had already declined a couple of scripts purely on the basis of not being comfortable with the very physical scenes and the kissing because I’d never done that on screen and I just wasn’t very comfortable with the idea,” she said. However, she also said that she had many doubts about signing up to appear in ‘Dhoom 2’ simply because of the kissing scene. “And I was like wow, I’m just an actor, doing my job, and here I am being asked to offer an explanation for a couple of seconds in a two, three hour piece of cinema,” she said.

“I did it once prominently in the movie Dhoom and it was so topical, and you’ll be surprised, I mean I actually got a couple of notices, legal notices, from some people in the country turning around and saying “You are iconic, you’re an example to our girls you have led your life in such an exemplary manner, they’re not comfortable with you doing this on screen so why did you?” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying. The 39-year-old actress, who had her first screen kiss with actor Hrithik Roshan in ‘Dhoom 2’ in 2006, admits that she is still less than comfortable with the prospect of such intimate scenes.ĭuring an interview, Rai said that the scene caused such a stir in India that she even received legal threats following the movie’s release.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is arguably the most famous Bollywood actress in the world and has also been doing her best to forge a career for herself in Western cinema, still struggles with one thing - public displays of affection so commonly seen on the silver screen.
