People who have seen the visuals and stills of Kadal must have noted an intense lip-lock between the lead pair, Gautham Karthik and Thulasi Nair.
Sources say that Thulasi was really apprehensive and nervous before this shot due to the big crowd of technicians and crew on the spot.

Director Mani Ratnam had to vacate the rest of this team from the spot before shooting this 10 seconds long kiss. But a lot of takes were required and it took four hours in all to complete this scene, it seems.

Meanwhile, the film would be released on February 1st in all probability and Tamil newspapers have even carried ads with the release date mentioned as February 1st.
