Salman Khan's film Alexander is waiting for everyone. Alexander is to be seen on the occasion of Eid. On the other hand, Salman is also on target once again. What is the theme in Alexander, it has not been revealed yet, but big questions are being raised about Salman Khan's age. Let us tell you that Salman will complete sixty spring of his life on 27 December this year. She has two actresses in front of her in Alexander- Rashmika Mandana, who is twenty-eight years old and Kajal Aggarwal, who is twenty-nine years old. What is the relationship with Salman's character in the film, it has not been known yet, but in all the songs that have come, Salman and Rashika's chemistry is clearly visible. This chemistry has given the secret of the film's story deeper.
Now the question is arising that how will the pair of Rashmika Mandana of twenty -eight years in front of Salman Khan of sixty years! According to the age of both artists in front of everyone in the media, Rashmika Mandana is less than half of the age of Salman Khan. Does the story also shown this age gap of both characters? It has not been known yet. By the way, both have been seen dancing and singing in the teaser and songs of this film. From this, it seems that both have become lover-girlfriends, while what is the role of Kajal Aggarwal, what is his relationship with Salman or Rashika, it is yet to be revealed. All three were shown on Alexander's Holi song. This song has pointed to some mystery.
Now the important question is whether the age gap in Bollywood films does not matter? This question is because no one will see such a long difference in the age of hero and heroine on screen. There is a difference of about thirty -two years between Salman and Rashmika. Such a difference has also been seen in the era of films of the past. From Dilip Kumar-Saira Bano to Salman-Rashmika era, such a mismatch has been seen many times in terms of age. The special thing is that it never had any effect on the entertainment of the audience.
Dilip Kumar and Saira Bano first worked in the film Gopi in 1970. There was a difference of about 22 years in the age of both. In the seventies, Dilip Kumar's stardom started getting molded. Then despite the edge gap, his pairing with Saira Bano was liked by the people. The film became a hit. Later both of them also got married.
Similarly, Dev Anand and Raj Kapoor have also played the role of hero on screen with their very young heroines. Both actors were known for launching new heroines in their respective films. Dev Anand landed Kamsin Jeenam Aman in Hare Rama Hare Krishna, while Raj Kapoor gave Hema Malini as a heroine break in 1968. Then there was a difference of about 24 years between Raj Kapoor and Hema Malini. At that time Raj Kapoor was 44 years old while Hema Malini was 20 years old.
After this, many superstars have shared the screen with the heroines of about half of the age in the period after eighties, nineties to two thousand years. Jeetendra was 41 years old at the time of the 1983 film Himmatwala, but then his pairing with 20 -year -old Sridevi became such a hit that later many of his films were released back to back and all of them did a tremendous business at the box office. Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan also worked with Sridevi during this period. Amitabh, Rajesh Khanna and Jeetendra are born in 1942.
The film Inquilab, the film of Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi, then set a record at the box office. Amitabh Bachchan had worked as a hero with Jaya Prada in the drunkard, Amrita Singh in the man and Meenakshi Seshadri in Ganga Jamuna Saraswati. Amitabh Bachchan was also targeted for these films. Especially in the man, people did not like to become a hero along with Amrita Singh and Ganga Jamuna Saraswati in Saraswati. Both films were also flopped.
Later, there were some films of Amitabh Bachchan in which the age gap was shown according to the demand of the story, in that sense, Tabu in Chinese cum and Ram Gopal Varma's film became a heroine in the word Niyam. Tabu was about 29 years younger than Amitabh, while the late Zia Khan was 46 years younger. In the film, Jia Khan was shown to be the age of her character's daughter.
This question is years old in the context of Hindi films. There are many reasons for this. All our Bollywood films are mostly male dominated. The heroines are like the supporting artist of the hero in these films. Except for the heroine-dominated films, the characters of heroines are usually written to love, romance, songs, stereotypes or save their lives. The entire film of the film is on the shoulder of the hero. Therefore, the age of the heroines does not matter much. Along with good acting, heroines have to be beautiful and to be proficient in dance.
Remember the 2000 blockbuster film Lagaan. Aamir Khan was then thirty -five years old and he had searched for Gracie Singh, a younger heroine as a new heroine for himself. In fact, this is a thinking that has been going on in the film industry for years. However, in recent years, these perceptions have also changed to some extent. Despite being older, Aishwarya Rai, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee are playing the leading role. But the old custom of Kamsin heroines opposite superstars in mainstream commercial films is still intact.
