In his decade-long vibrant career, Mahesh Babu, considered the evergreen prince of Tollywood, stayed away from intimate scenes with his heroines.
And now the buzz is that for the first time, he has done a lip lock scene with Kajal Aggarwal in The Businessman.
Although, he has teased Trisha and Anushka on screen before, this time he gets more personal to singe the screen with Kajal. Being conventional, he always rejected such scenes and insisted that directors come up with alternative options. This time, the code went awry.
“Initially, he was reluctant, but finally relented after being convinced that this kiss was necessary to establish the strong bond between the lovers. The scene will have Kajal resting on her bed as Mahesh indulges in a passionate kiss to add fillip to their romance,” says a source close the director.
Apparently, more young stars are set to join the league of Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya and Allu Arjun who indulged in lip-locks and became famed onscreen lover boys.
Apart from the commercial angle, director Puri Jagannath is said to have considered the lip-lock action for more aesthetic reasons.
The patch work for the film is going on at Ramoji Film City and teaser trailers will be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam on December 9.
The trailers will be shown in cinema halls in Andhra Pradesh along with Panjaa
