Recently, Dharmendra reacted to the viral scene in his hilarious style, saying Ranveer Singh had a lot of kissing scenes in the film, but it was he who stole the show with that one kiss.

Shabana Azmi, during a chat with NDTV, laughed and reacted to the viral kiss saying, "Such a big thing, the central thing of the film is it? But then it tickles people, I guess.
