'Woh Zamana Gaya': R Madhavan Opens Up On Industry Focusing On Age-Appropriate Romances

Actor R Madhavan, who is gearing up for the release of Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, recently opened up on the age-gap romances and how the B-town actors are being criticised over the same. He also talked about how the industry is now moving forward with age-appropriate romances, stating, "woh zamana gaya."

Madhavan said in a conversation with India Today, "There are more age-appropriate romances right now. Because people have criticised it so much. Now all the heroes are thinking, ‘Woh zamana gaya (that era has come)’ – the time is gone when you could be much older and still pretend to be the same age as the heroine and romance her."

He went on to state, "That has stopped now. That has completely stopped, I think, and is also not being accepted. So, if you are still doing it, you have to be smart with how you show age-appropriate romance. If people are coming up in arms with what you are doing, then obviously that's not working. Our job is to tell them a story in the manner they want to hear it. If we only think about ourselves, and do not listen to the audience, then we will be left watching movies all alone."

Aap Jaisa Koi is a captivating romantic drama that explores the complexities of love and relationships. Directed by Vivek Soni and produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment, this film is set to premiere on Netflix on July 11. The story revolves around Shrirenu Tripathi, a reserved and introspective middle-aged Sanskrit professor, brought to life by the talented R. Madhavan.
