Naseeruddin Shah is making a movie “Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota”
Remember Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai where the veteran actress Suhasini Mulay played a distressed mother who watches in dismay as her son, played by Akshaye Khanna, falls for an older woman?
In Naseeruddin Shah’s Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota, Suhasini played a woman who becomes the object of adoration of a much younger man, played by Irrfan Khan.
There have been films like Dil Chahta Hai, Anmol and Being Cyrus – all featuring Dimple Kapadia – where a 40-plus woman has fallen for a much younger man.
Irrfan played a working class man in his 40s totally besotted by an older woman.
“My character adored the woman to the point of worship. She’s very classy and I’m nothing but a diversion for her. She’d happily make love to another man if she found someone more interesting,” said Irrfan.
