The kiss however went on to become a huge controversy and the actress had to come up and clarify:

“The particular scene in the movie demanded it. That’s why I did it. No movie should be judged solely on the basis of a lip-lock scene. It should be seen in its entirety. People accepted Geetha Govindam and I am sure about this movie as well,” Indiaglitz quotes her as saying. Not only Rashmika, even Deverakonda was also criticised for having lip-lock scene and was compared with Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi.
