Manisha Koirala To Play Kartik Aaryan’s Mother While Male Actors Continue Romancing Younger Heroines
Manisha Koirala is 50 years old and Kartik Aaryan is 30 years old. And while she is being roped in to play mother to a man who is just 20 years younger, male actors her age are romancing actresses that young. In fact, in the original Telugu film, it was Tabu who played mother to actor Allu Arjun. They were considering Tabu for the role but the makers decided to go for an all-new cast. It’s worth noting that the age difference between them is 12 years. That’s exactly the age difference between Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora.
