Did Sai Pallavi reject Dear Comrade because of kissing scenes?

Director Bharat Kamma had approached heroine Sai Pallavi to cast her as the female lead in Dear Comrade. During script narration, he explained to her about kissing scenes. Sai Pallavi outrightly rejected the movie by saying that she cannot act in liplock scenes. Later, Bharat signed Rashmika as a heroine for the movie. Sai Pallavi had never compromised on certain aspects with regard to acting. Probably, she might have lost many movie chances. Vijay Devarakonda starrer Dear Comrade slated for release worldwide on July 26.
