Eagle-eyed fans of Salman Khan have discovered that there’s a scene in the trailer of Salman’s movie: ”Radhe your most wanted Bhai” that involves Salman apparently kissing his co-star, Disha Patani, on the lips. But the actor has had a longstanding ‘no-kissing policy in films.
After the trailer launched last week, several people wondered if Salman had finally broken his no kissing policy and kissed Disha in the movie, but some internet sleuths discovered that Disha was wearing a piece of tape on her mouth for the scene, which plays out entirely in silhouette in the trailer.
After brightening up the shot in question, one fan wrote on Twitter. “So this is just a comedy scene jaha Disha k muh mein tape laga hua hai….. Streak is unbroken.” Another fan commented, “Kal hi bola tha Disha k lips pe tape hai, cheat kiss hai (I told you it was a cheat kiss, Disha’s face was taped). Salman bhai nhi krenge on screen kiss Qk ek dfa jo bhai ne commitment krdi phr toh woh apne ap ki b nhi sunte (Salman will never kiss on screen because he has made the commitment).” Others wondered if the tape on Disha’s character’s mouth had a narrative explanation. “She is kidnapped,” one person speculated.
In an interview with India Today, Salman had said that the reason he doesn’t kiss on screen is that he is ‘not comfortable with them at all.’ He added, “When we used to watch movies with family and a kiss scenes came, everyone used to look away. And it used to be a bit awkward. Even in Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), the intimate scenes were not direct. The trend has changed, but I still am not comfortable. When I make movies, I want my family to go watch them. The maximum that happens is I remove my shirt. Might have a few naughty jokes in my dialogues but you will never see a lovemaking scene.”
