Vast age gap between male and female leads has been an issue with several Bollywood movies over deacdes. Even in today's time, it is not uncommon to see actors in their mid to late fifties playing romantic leads in front of actresses who are in their twenties. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri who is known for helming the widely popular film 'The Kashmir Files', recently took to his Twitter to slam this practice.
Without naming any actor in particular, Vivek stated that something is fundamentally wrong with Bollywood when actors in their 60s are trying to romance actresses half their age.
His tweet read, Forget the quality of a film, when 60 yr old heroes are desperate to romance 20/30 yr old girls, photoshopping faces to look young, there is something fundamentally wrong with Bollywood. ‘Looking young & cool’ has destroyed Bollywood. And only one person is responsible for this.”
