Ananya Panday said that people should not fixate on age when asked about the significant age gap between her and Ayushmann.
Ananya Panday is all set to pair up with Ayushmann Khurrana in ‘Dream Girl 2’. During the film’s trailer launch recently, the actress was asked about the 14 year age gap between her and Ayushmann, to which she said that age gaps have always existed in cinema.
In the ‘Dream Girl 2’ trailer, Ayushmann is seen not only voicing Pooja but has also dressed up as her. He is seen having fun and fooling a lot of men. Ananya is seen romancing the male avatar of Ayushmann.
Now, as per a report by ETimes, when the 24 year-old was asked the 14 year age difference with 38-year-old Ayushmann, she said, “I don’t think this is today’s issue. The age difference has always existed. People should not fixate on age while watching the film. If they are preoccupied with this factor, then it becomes a problem. As long as two actors are suitable for their respective roles, it’s perfectly acceptable."
‘Dream Girl 2’ was earlier supposed to hit the cinemas in July. However, it was pushed to August 25. The makers revealed that the delay was due to the VFX work required for the film. Ektaa Kapoor, who is co-producing the film, said, “We want Ayushmann Khurrana's character to look perfect as Pooja in Dream Girl 2, and that's why we are taking extra time to perfect the VFX work for the face. We want to ensure that our viewers get the best possible experience when they watch the movie. The VFX work for Dream Girl 2 is an integral part of the movie, and we want to ensure that we deliver a high-quality product to our audiences.”
‘Dream Girl 2’ is the sequel to the 2019 film ‘Dream Girl’, which had Ayushmann along with Nushrratt Bharuccha, Annu Kapoor, Manjot Singh, Vijay Raaz and Abhishek Banerjee. The film emerged to be a hit with gross worldwide box office collection of ₹200 crore.
