turned 30 this month will be romancing the
very beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who
crossed 40 last year. The film Fanney Khan
to be helmed by debutant director Atul
Manjrekar, selected Rajkummar Rao who is
seen as kind of a steady actor who stands
out even when the female protagonist has
a strong part.
While Rajkummar Rao and Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan do make for an interesting
combination, there is a slight practical
problem regarding their 10-year age
difference. But nothing that a bit of facial
hair can't alter. We hear Rajkummar will
grow a beard to look compatible with his
co-star rather than a fanboy which Raj
admits to being.
Says the forthright Bareilly Ki Barfi actor, "I
am super-excited, really happy to be
working with her (Aishwarya). I'll start
preparing for my part in Fanney Khan the
moment I am done shooting for my film on
Subhas Chandra Bose.
Years ago when Shah Rukh Khan faced the
same compatibility issue with his favourite
Sridevi in the film Army, he had pasted a
moustache on his face to add years to his
biological age. Never again did Shah Rukh
use fake facial hair, as he hates disguises
and makeup.
