Reuniting for a Unique Love Story
Tabu and Ajay Devgn are set to reunite in the upcoming film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, directed by Neeraj Pandey. This pairing is noteworthy as both actors, now in their fifties, are cast as romantic leads. This is a rare phenomenon in Bollywood, where romantic films typically feature younger actors to tell their love stories.
Tabu on Romance Beyond Age
When asked about the significance of this casting, Tabu expressed her gratitude to Neeraj Pandey for the opportunity. She stated, “Romance does not only belong to the young or a certain age group. There is no barrier when you talk about romance, love, and relationships. The film is more about a relationship than just love and romance. Human relationships are the most interesting aspect of cinema, and there is no end to where you can take that relationship.”
Ajay Devgn’s Perspective on Mature Relationships
Ajay Devgn echoed this sentiment, highlighting the depth of feelings that come with age. He said, “Any kind of feeling becomes deeper as you grow. People start thinking and feeling deeper, whether it’s positive or negative. You analyze a lot more as you get older, moving past the childishness and seeing the true depth of emotions.”
Tabu’s Successful Year in Cinema
Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is Tabu’s second film of the year, following her role in Crew alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon. The movie received positive reviews and was a commercial success, grossing over Rs 157 crore globally.
Encouraging More Female-Led Projects
During a promotional event, Tabu was asked if the success of such films would encourage producers to cast top female stars together and motivate actresses to lead such projects. Ajay Devgn responded, “There is no such thing as courage. Everybody is already doing it. Films where women take the lead keep coming. It just depends on having a good script with a strong female lead.”
Tabu on Industry Decisions
Tabu added, “Producers ultimately decide the kinds of films we make. There are many factors at play, and they have to take the final decision. How it will unfold, I have no idea, because I have seen many of these trends evolve over the years.”
Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is set to break conventional Bollywood norms by featuring Tabu and Ajay Devgn in a romantic lead role. Their performances promise to bring a fresh perspective on mature relationships to the silver screen, proving that romance transcends age and continues to be a compelling subject in cinema.
