Vijay and Tamannaah have been dating each other for some time now. They officially confirmed being in a relationship only recently, after they started the promotions for their first film together.

Tamannaah's first onscreen kiss

Recalling his first meeting with her, Vijay told Instant Bollywood, “I met her [Tamanaah] for the reading at Sujoy Ghosh’s office. I think we broke the ice there. We shared our journey. She said, ‘I have been working for the last 17 years. I had a no-kiss policy in my contract.’ And then, she was like, ‘I have not done anything like this before.’ In the end, she told me that, ‘You are the first actor I am going to be kissing on screen’. I was like, ‘Thank you'.”

Lust Stories 2

Talking about Lust Stories 2, Sujoy Ghosh recently said in a press statement, "This time lust stories are all about the different shades of Lust. I am so glad that RSVP, Flying Unicorn and Netflix brought this opportunity to me, and that our lust story will be watched by audiences in 190 countries. Tamannah and Vijay brought the film to life just as I had imagined, and I hope the audience will enjoy seeing their chemistry on screen."
