What do Amol Mhatre, Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan have in common? The gorgeous Dimple Kapadia!
All the three actors, years younger, got to romance and seduce the stunning actress. Amol was Dimple's co-star in Somnath Sen's "Leela" while Akshaye Khanna wooed the actress in Farhan Akhtar's "Dil Chahta Hai".
Now it's Saif's turn in Homi Adajania's much talked-about "Being Cyrus".
About the unusual pairing, Saif says: "Dimple and I didn't really have any scenes together in 'Dil Chahta Hai'. But we've a lot to do with each other in 'Being Cyrus'.
"She plays this ambitious woman who's married to a loser. I play this man who comes to work around her house. There's an instant attraction. In an American movie it'd be no big deal. Here I suppose it would raise some eyebrows."
Some prominent older woman-younger man films:
Simi Garewal-Rishi Kapoor in Raj Kapoor's "Mera Naam Joker"
Hema Malini-Kamal Haasan in K. Balachander's "Ek Nayi Paheli"
Nutan-Amitabh Bachchan in Sudhendu Roy's "Saudagar"
