'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,' a 2023 film directed by Karan Johar, has emerged as a hit this year. Starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan, the movie has resonated with audiences due to its blend of nostalgic songs, comedic scenes, and dramatic moments. Notably, it also gained attention for featuring a kiss between veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra, sparking reactions from both viewers and the cast's family members.
Esha Deol, daughter of Dharmendra, shared her emotional experience of watching her father in the film. She admitted finding it challenging to sit through certain scenes he performed in, given their emotional nature. Esha expressed her deep love and admiration for her father, acknowledging that she needed to remind herself that she was watching the movie as an audience member rather than just as his daughter.
The film's success press conference witnessed Dharmendra discussing the much-talked-about kissing scene, which he humorously referred to as his 'baayen haath ka khel' or an easy task. Dharmendra emphasized his willingness to make the most of opportunities in his acting career.
Apart from the movie's content, Esha Deol's recent reconciliation with her step-brothers, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, after the release of 'Gadar 2,' garnered attention. In terms of financial performance, 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' has achieved a commendable box office collection of Rs 149.57 crores nett to date.
