Lately, Megastar Chiranjeevi announced to cast a heroine who suits his age for 150th film. Other South stars like Venkatesh, Rajinikanth, Ajith, Mohanlal etc are also keen on casting matured actresses. But, the scenario is quite contradictory in Bollywood.
Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan is all set to romance youngest heroine in the industry- Alia Bhatt in his next film to be directed by Gauri Shinde of English Vinglish fame. As a matter of fact, Gauri has a purpose of casting 22 years old Alia opposite 49 years old SRK. After making bang debut with the critically acclaimed and commercially successful English Vinglish, Gauri spent almost couple of years on the new film’s subject for perfection.
The film’s story requires age disparity between the lead pair. Hence, SRK and Alia alliance happened. Red Chillies Entertainment, Dharma Productions and Hope Productions are jointly producing the romantic family entertainer.
Another interesting scenario in Bollywood is the audiences accept heroines romancing heroes younger to them. Vidyabalan – Ali Fazal in Bobby Jasoos, Kareena Kapoor – Arjun Kapoor in Ki And Ka, Rani Mukherjee – Prithviraj in Aiyyaa, Priyanka Chopra – Arjun Kapoor – Ranveer Singh in Gunday are the examples.
