25 Mar
Summary
- Akshay Kumar cites script requirements and real-life occurrences.
- Priyadarshan distinguishes between chronological and screen age.
- Salman Khan addresses age gap concerns with co-star's parents' approval.
Actors Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, along with director Priyadarshan, have discussed the prevalence and acceptance of age-gap relationships in the entertainment industry. Kumar stated that such dynamics are often script-driven and a reality in both Hollywood and personal lives, where people frequently marry partners of different ages.
Priyadarshan elaborated on the concept of screen age versus chronological age, suggesting that an actor's perceived age on screen is what audiences connect with. He believes that an actor's suitability for a role is not solely determined by their actual age, but by their overall screen presence and chemistry with co-stars.
Salman Khan also addressed the topic, referencing the age difference with co-star Rashmika Mandanna in the film 'Sikandar'. He humorously pointed out that if the co-star and her family have no objections, external concerns about the age gap are unwarranted, even suggesting he might work with the co-star's future daughter.
