How can we justify Dia Mirza's statement that older actors are bizarre with young actresses?

Rajinikanth was 65 years old and Sonakshi Sinha was around 27. Thats 38 years. She was younger than Rajinis daughters who were 33 and 29.

Most of the audience in TN.did not find it bizzare. Yes the movie was awful but i didnt actually even think about the age gap.

Rajini could play 35–40 even at 65

Ajith was 47 years old. Kajal was 31 years old. The difference was 16 years. Less than.half of the difference between Rajini and Sonakshi. Yet i remember thinking - Ajith looks like her father in the scenes.

Ajith looks 47 and is 47

Its called perception.

Not everyone knows how old the actors are. On.the Screen, the Actor is a character and the actress is a character. Its the characters whose chemistry is crucial, not the actors.

Ajith (41) and Trisha (28) clicked in this movie. Their characters were apt. It was Vinayak and not Ajith people saw. Vinayak was apt for Trisha.

Ajith plays 37–40 at 41 but the story creates a believable pairing as the age gap.fits.

Kamal was 53 -54 yrs and Trisha 26 - Yet Major Mannar (Character) looks perfectly apt with Ambujakshi (Character).

He plays 38–42 though he is 53–54.

Here Andrea is 29 and Kamal is 60. Nearly the same age difference but here he looks like an Old Lecher seducing a young girl.

Here Kamal looks 60 and plays 60.

Prabhu was 44 and Ramya Krishna 29 at the time of this movie. Yet Prabhu played 32–35 and somehow managed to achieve it. The pairing was believable.

So in the end:

Its the Character and not the Acto. If the Characters are apt, nothing looks weird. If the Characters are not apt, everything looks weird.

Actors like Rajkumar played romantic roles with heroines half his age yet nobody realized this as the characters were apt and his charcter could play 35–40 even though he was himself 65.

Meanwhile Sivaji played romantic roles aged 50 but looked 55 and so looked like the heroines father.

I have used Tamil Cinema because the age differences are much more in Tamil Cinema than Bollywood.

Who are some underrated Indian actresses?

We are at the point in the industry where underrated actors are being rated according to their abilities. But even after choosing correct scripts and directors- actresses are still being used as a side piece despite their performances.

This is the producers fault in not letting many actresses in the industry- and only choosing ones with a market. It’s not a fault though as movies are a business and they need face value. I don’t have a financially positive solution for this, but I can underline some actresses that deserve more and can bring freshness into our cinema today.

Will organize this list by the language films by their best known for. This is in order from the best on top.

TELUGU:

• Mrunal Thakur - Sita Ramam, Family Star, Hi Nanna

Despite being the best contemporary actress (probably after Sai Pallavi) she isn’t getting enough chances. My favorite actress on this post.

• Sreleela - Guntur Kaaram, Dhamaka, Bhagavanth Kesari

Right now best looking telugu actress. Her acting hasn’t been explored at all but she has scope. Her role in Guntur Kaaram wasn’t bad and she lit up screens. She is also a fantastic dancer- probably best among actresses. She can be a good commercial actress- directors and producers need to start trusting her into their good projects. She has good face value.

• Shraddha Das - Arya 2, PSV Garuda Veda, Guntur Talkies

She has given good performances in her Telugu films and they have been hits. Not sure why she hasn’t gone mainstream since Arya 2.

TAMIL:

Sri Divya - VVS, Kaaki Sattai, Meiyazhagan

Most underused actress in Tamil Cinema. She is an actress with no haters. We all were so happy to see her in Meiyazhagan. She’s a very positive energy actress she makes everyone smile. All of her performances were good- and she still looks absurdly young. We still have a chance to utilize her well. Meiyazhagan set it.

• Aishwarya Lekshmi - Ponniyan Selvan, King of Kotha, Maayanadhi

Similar situation to Aishwarya Rajesh. Good performer but less chances. She does get movies like PS and KOK but none of them clicked in the way in that she gets something out of it. She can do every role and with conviction.

• Siddhi Idvani - VTK, Kerala Story, TGGM

Extremely good actress. She got introduced by Simbu in 2022 in tamil and she gave a good performance in VTK. That film is very underrated itself nobody can appreciate classy films like these anymore. She can do any role with conviction and she looks good too. Her performance in VTK and in the songs is incredible.

HINDI:

Radhika Apte - Badlapur, Kabali, Andhadun

She’s become an international actress and is getting praise there- but here home she’s not getting what she deserves. Sure she lands the occasional good film but in all she’s been pushed out of mainstream.

Anaitha Nair - Chak De India, Dum Maaro Dum, Mumbai Calling

I’ve only seen Chak De India from her and she was impressive. Don’t know why producers won’t give actresses a chance after a good performance and movie. They can see it works.

Sanya Malhotra - Dangal, Sam Bahadur, Jawan

Brilliant performer can do every role- even side roles like in Jawan. She is perfect actress material and deserves to be more mainstream
