Sammir and Dino fall for older women
While Sammir Dattani is all set to romance an older woman in Mani Shankar’s next film, Dino Morea will be doing the same in Mahesh Manjrekar’s Deh. Shankar’s movie is loosely based on Summer Of 42. Says producer Sudhir Rambhotla, “We believe the audiences’ tastes are changing. No one wants to see teenyboppers running around trees.” In fact, young men falling in love with older women is not a new theme in Hindi cinema. We’ve seen Akshaye Khanna in Dil Chahta Hai, Amol Mhatre in Leela and more recently Saif Ali Khan in Being Cyrus. Earlier Raj Kapoor shocked the world when he allowed little Rishi Kapoor to fall for Simi Garewal in Mera Naam Joker. But the question is, would audiences watch the unconventional jodi without a squirm? “Why not?” shoots back Dino,”I’ve done a beautiful romance with an older woman played by Jaya Prada. It all depends on the treatment.” Sammir Dattani feels it’s all about the aesthetics. “Such attractions are not uncommon. When I was in school I had a crush a teacher. Younger men always find older women fascinating, and that’s also true of the girls. I’m looking forward to doing the film. Hopefully my co-star will be Shabana Azmi or Dimple Kapadia,” he says.
