Tamannaah says no to lip-lock

Tamannaah is very excited about playing the female lead in the Tamil remake of ‘Jab We Met’. But she is in no mood to emulate Kareena Kapoor scene by scene for sure. She said a firm no to the lip-locks between Kareena and Shahid Kapur that made the original sensational.

Tamannaah has made it clear that she would not do kissing scenes. It is not the kissing scenes, but the emotional quotient that counts in the success of a film, the beautiful actress feels. She is not for size zero figures as well, as it won’t suit Indian bodies and cannot be retained forever, she says.

But Tamannaah is not averse to glamour. She understands the necessity of glam quotient to make the film more saleable. When director K.V. Anand wanted her to wear skimpy outfits in Africa, the girl obliged, without a murmur.

She is presently acting in ‘Ayan’ (with Surya), ‘Padikkathavan’ (with Dhanush), and ‘Aananda Thandavam’ (with Siddarth).
