Emraan Hashmi is known to be the ultimate kisser in Bollywood. And his Raaz Reboot heroine Kriti Kharbanda has never kissed on screen before. Yet, this sizzling pair from director Vikram Bhatt's upcoming horror thriller shot the kissing scene in just one take.

Talking about the liplock and her co-star, who is famously known as the 'serial kisser' (a title that he doesn't like to flaunt any more), South actress Kriti says, “Even though I have done quite a few films in the South, I have never kissed on screen before. When I told them (Vikram and Emraan), they laughed and told me that they had assumed I had kissed on screen before.“

Though she was a little nervous before shooting the scene, she recalls, “I thought I would be conscious, but it wasn't like that. For me, it's an emotion, like how you express love. I don't think there was a second take. Emraan is a professional and for him, it was like any other scene. Just the way it was with me.“

She adds, “After working with Emraan, I noticed that he plays his characters strongly. On two occasions, I forgot to give him the cue, but the way he enacted the scenes, with his body language and dialogues, surprised everyone. A Raaz film cannot happen without Emraan. He brings certain credibility to the project and people want to watch him in this franchise.“
