New Delhi: A kissing scene between Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kumar in the forthcoming Tinku Weds Shreu has become the talk of the town. Kangana Ranaut is all set to debut as a film producer with the film that will premiere on Prime Video later this month.
The trailer was released on Thursday and it featured a kissing scene involving Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur.
Some on Reddit are calling it ‘gross’. Others said they were ‘shocked’ the scene was from a film backed by Kangana Ranaut, who often speaks about the representation of women in films.
Many reacted to a Reddit post that said, “It’s so disappointing to see Avneet Kaur, who is just 21, paired opposite someone (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who is 49.” One wrote, “Shocking how its coming from Kangana.”
A comment read, “What on earth is this?” A person also commented, “Gross! Also what is up with Nawazuddin’s movie choices?” Another one said about the actor, “Can’t defend Nawaz (Nawazuddin) anymore. Bahut ho gaya outsider outsider (Too much has been said about him being an outside in Bollywood).” Replying to the statement, one wrote, “Being an outsider does not make one greater than the others or excusable. It’s high time people stop putting them on pedestals.”
Some also defended Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur’s kiss in Tiku Weds Sheru. One commented, “Shah Rukh Khan also had a kissing scene with Anushka. It’s not new.” The actors were seen together in Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017). Shah Rukh is 57, while Anushka is 35.
Nawazuddin’s Tiku and Avneet’s Sheru are polar opposites, who marry. Tiku views her marriage as a chance to move to Mumbai and make a career in films. Sheru, on the other hand, has been playing small roles in films for years.
