The 2006 action thriller Dhoom 2 was a sequel to the 2004 hit Dhoom reuniting Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra as Mumbai cops Jai and Ali. This time they were on the trail to catch  Mr A a cunning thief portrayed by Hrithik Roshan. While Aishwarya Rai played his love interest Sunehri. Aditya Chopra who produced this film under his banner Yash Raj Films asked Aishwarya Rai to shed 5 kilos in 10 days. Her personal trainer Deepika Mehta was flown from Mumbai to Namibia where the film was being shot to help the actress get in shape. Aishwarya Rais stunning transformation and her bold avatar indeed garnered much attention but what shocked many was her and Hrithiks kissing scene. Following the release of Dhoom 2 in November 2006 the scene sparked controversy with reports suggesting that the Bachchan family has raised objections. Aishwarya was set to marry Abhishek Bachchan in April 2007. While in one of the interviews when Hrithik was asked about the controversy he responded with a mix of humour and tact. The actor said Well this is one thing I want to say about kissing. It came with this one big condition that Suzzane (Hrithiks wife) had put on me when she said that if you are going to do this then you better make sure that it is the best damn kiss in the whole wide world. Made in just Rs 35 crore Dhoom 2 smashed the box office records and earned Rs 80.91 crore net in India and grossed Rs 147 crore worldwide. It became one of the most iconic films in Bollywood renowned not only for its high-octane action sequences but also for the sizzling chemistry between its lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Moreover Dhoom 2 became the highest-grossing Hindi film at the time of its release until its record was surpassed by Shah Rukh Khans Om Shanti Om in 2007.
