Lately, there has been a lot of debate around the age-gap between two actors romancing onscreen in a film. Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, 58, shared his views on the same while promoting his next film, Bhooth Bangla.

Up next, he will be seen opposite 32-year-old Wamiqa Gabbi in the much-awaited Priyadarshan horror comedy Bhooth Bangla. In a chat with News 18, sharing his thoughts on age-gap onscreen love stories, Akshay Kumar said, “Toh kya hai? Humne pehle dekha nahi hai kya kabhi? It happens in Hollywood as well. Sometimes, it’s the requirement of the script. (In real life too), so many people get married to partners older or younger than them.”

Bhooth Bangla is set to arrive in theatres on April 10. The film marks Akshay and Priyadarshan’s reunion 14 years after their last collaboration, Khatta Meetha (2010). Akshay and Priyadarshan’s upcoming film, which marks their second horror comedy together, also has a special connection to their first horror comedy film Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007) — both the films have been shot at the Chomu Palace in Jaipur.
