Kangana Ranaut talks about 27 year age gap between Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,February 12 2022]
Bollywood movies are often criticised for the unrealistic age gaps between the male and female leads in romantic movies and the latest example of this is the upcoming film 'Tiku Weds Sheru'. Produced by Kangana Ranaut, the films stars 47 year old Nawazuddin Siddiqui alongside 20 year old Avneet Kaur. In a recent media interaction, Kangana stated that she foresaw some criticism coming up on this aspect but still choose to go with it.
She said, Mujhe sab ne bohot warn kiya tha iske against, chahe jo bhi age gap hai ya jo bhi hai, yeh meri story ko suit karta hai (Everyone warned me against casting them together but whatever the age gap is, it suits my story).
She then cited the example of her own pairing with R Madhavan in 'Tanu Weds Manu' and shared how age gap doesn't matter if the script is done right. She added, So it was my belief that Avneet is the right person for this film. With Nawaz sir, uski jodi bohot badi hit rahegi, this is my feeling. But let’s see, baaki toh aap logon ke haath mein hai (Her pairing with Nawaz sir will be a big hit, this is my feeling. But let’s see, the rest is in your hands).
