Actor Vishnu Vishal, who plays the lead in the upcoming investigative thriller 'Aaryan' directed by Praveen K, has revealed that the team had edited out a lip-lock scene from a song in the film based on a request made by actress Maanasa Choudhary, who plays a pivotal role in the film.
Speaking at an event organised by ‘Aaryan’ makers,Vishnu, whose production house Vishnu Vishal Studioz is also producing the film, said, "We had kept a song in the film. It was a romantic number. We shot a scene for the song after which Maanasa went to the director and expressed concern about having such a scene. She told the director that she did not want that scene to be included in the song.

“When the director told me what she had told, I understood what she meant and I immediately told the director that we won't shoot anything like that and we would approach the song in a completely different manner,” Vishnu said, as reported by IANS.

Turning to actress Maanasa, the actor informed, "Also, in the final editing of the film, that (scene) has been chopped. I respect what you said and as an actor, I understand and appreciate that you voiced out (your thoughts) and we have taken action on it. The reason I am sharing this is because I always respect women and their whole approach towards cinema." The film, which has already been cleared by the Censor Board for release, is scheduled to hit screens on October 31.
