In recent times, casting a heroine in her early 20s opposite a hero nearing 40 has often invited heavy trolling on social media. This growing scrutiny has prompted many star heroes to rethink their casting choices, with several now preferring actresses closer to their own age. As a result, some senior actresses, even those considered past their conventional prime, continue to secure big films and lucrative paychecks.
Following this trend, Allu Arjun made a notable casting choice for his next film directed by Atlee, roping in Deepika Padukone, who is just three years younger than him. Having already worked with co-stars both her age and significantly older, Deepika is now reportedly being selective, choosing only high-profile, big-ticket projects — one of which is Allu Arjun’s film.
Industry buzz now suggests that Allu Arjun may be repeating the same casting strategy. For his upcoming project reportedly to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Shraddha Kapoor, aged 38, is said to be under serious consideration for the female lead. Interestingly, Shraddha was earlier expected to feature in the “Kissik” song from Pushpa 2, but she opted out at the last moment.
With films headlined by a star like Allu Arjun offering massive reach and visibility, it’s a win-win situation, as these senior actresses gain renewed stardom while the films benefit from balanced and widely accepted casting choices.
