Veteran actor Biswajit Chatterjee said the long‑standing kissing controversy with Rekha is insignificant when compared to the explicit bedroom sequences in the upcoming film 'Animal'.
Veteran Bollywood actor Biswajit Chatterjee addressed the decades‑old media storm surrounding his on‑screen kiss with actress Rekha, stating that the controversy has lost relevance. In a recent interview he remarked that the episode "has no meaning" in today’s cinematic landscape.
Chatterjee contrasted the old dispute with the much‑talked‑about bedroom scenes in the forthcoming action thriller "Animal", which stars Ranbir Kapoor and is noted for its bold visual content. He suggested that the explicit sequences in the new film are far more provocative than the modest controversy of his era.
The actor’s comments come as "Animal" gears up for release, drawing attention for its daring portrayal of intimacy. While the Rekha‑Chatterjee kiss sparked headlines in the 1970s, the current discourse focuses on how Indian cinema’s boundaries are shifting, a point Chatterjee highlighted without offering further details.
