Dhurandhar: Ranveer Singh And Sara Arjun's 20-Year Age-Gap Sparks Debate
Last Updated: Soon after Dhurandhar's first-look teaser was unveiled, the significant age gap between the film's stars Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun became a topic of discussion on social media. On Ranveer Singh's 40th birthday, the makers of his upcoming film 'Dhurandhar' unveiled the first look teaser, and announced the release date of the film. The teaser also introduced the film's leading lady, 20-year-old Tamil actor Sara Arjun. Soon after the teaser dropped, the film's actors Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun's age difference of 20 years became a topic of discussion on social media. While the film's storyline and character dynamics are still under wraps, many netizens wrote that they hope Sara and Ranveer have not been paired romantically opposite each other. The teaser of Dhurandhar showed a brief glimpse of Sara Arjun's character, and it does not give away much about their roles. Shortly after the teaser dropped, a Reddit user shared a screenshot featuring Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun in a scene from the film, and wrote, 'Sara arjun was 18 when Dhurandar was being filmed." Reacting to this post on the Reddit page BollyBlindsNGossip, one netizen wrote, " I hope they're not paired opposite each other romantically… otherwise, ugh!" while another one commented, 'I hope it's part of some mission. Again I won't be surprised if they are romancing. Almost all the actresses debuted in their teens against actors twice their age." However, many others defended the casting, suggesting it may not be a romantic pairing and urging people to wait for the film's release before passing judgment. 'The casting looks intentional. Unless you watch it there is no way to confirm if this is a romantic pairing. Maybe stop imaginary run-ups on theories and bash a movie that has a lot of hard work put into it," wrote one netizen, while another Reddit user wrote, 'Let us atleast wait for movie to release . If it doesn't fit into story then let's criticise." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh) Who Is Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Co-Star Sara Arjun?
