While most people will do any thing to kiss a hottie like Jacqueline Fernandes, Riteish Deshmukh flatly refused to do so when they were shooting for Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai.

We hear that it's due to Shah Rukh Khan's influence, the gifted actor has also adopted a no-kissing policy.

Though director Milap Zaveri tried hard to convince him about the crucial scene but Riteish didn't budge.

When quizzed Riteish Deshmukh on his no-kissing rule, the actor quipped, "It's true that I don't like kissing in films. I have been asked to kiss in many of my films but have always refused.

I am a very shy person and kissing is too intimate and personal an act for me to do in front of millions of eyes. I am not comfortable doing it. I can't be detached while kissing someone on screen."

One look at a film title like Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai and it is apparent that the film has a strong 'female' angle to it.

While one can sense that the makers of the film are going all out in establishing the character played by Jacqueline Fernandez, who plays the role of a lovable alien from Venus, one wonders if the film's lead actor Riteish Deshmukh was comfortable with the idea of working in a 'woman oriented' film? After all there have been quite a few films in the past where he has played the central character."Par yahan par bhi kehna waala to ladka hi hai naa", winks Riteish in a mischievous tone while dismissing the insinuation, "Yes, you do say that 'jaane kahan se aayi hai' but the remark is made by the hero.

Jokes apart, there isn't anything like the film being woman oriented or man oriented. It is a story of a pair which is made of a boy and a girl from two different worlds."Right from Day One of the film's promotion, it has been evidenced that quite a lot of emphasis has been on Jackie's character. Whether it is the talkie promo or the songs which are currently on air, there is Jackie all over.

Writer Milap Zaveri is ready to test waters with his first directorial venture JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI. The film, starring Riteish Deshmukh as a loser and Jacqueline Fernandez as an alien, has had the film fraternity [those who watched the screening of the film] praising it for its simple and interesting narration.
Not many are aware that it was Riteish who prodded Milap to try his hand at direction, while shooting for HEYY BABYY in Australia [Milap had penned the screenplay of the film]. So when Milap returned to Mumbai, he decided to give direction a serious thought.
Milap approached Riteish to head the cast of the film and by the time the story narration concluded, both Riteish and Milap knew that Riteish wouldn’t do the film. Two days later, Milap approached him with a different script – JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI – and also insisted on giving a narration in the veranda of Riteish’s house. “The room we sat for the first narration, I joked, was jinxed,” Milap reminisces.
