In the film industry, it’s common for older male actors to be paired with much younger female co-stars, a phenomenon often referred to as the ‘age-gap pairing’. This may be due to several factors like the male lead’s star power, a creative choice for certain storylines or even romanticising of age gap relationships on screen. This trend has sparked a range of discussions around age, gender dynamics, the perpetuation of stereotypes and the portrayal of relationships in cinema.
The latest example of such pairing is Keerthy Shetty and Tamil actor Karthi. Shetty reportedly played a child star in a scene in Karthi’s 2010 film Naan Mahaan Alla. And now, she is all set to be his leading actress in Vaa Vaathiyaare.
Keerthy Shetty made her debut as a film lead in the 2021 Telugu film Uppena. She then gained recognition with her Tamil debut The Warriorr, starring Ram Pothineni.
She is now set to feature in Vaa Vaathiyaare, opposite Karthi. The film’s first single was recently released and has captivated fans.
It is indeed surprising that Keerthy Shetty, who appeared as a child actor in Karthi’s Naan Mahaan Alla, is now his leading lady. Keerthy Shetty is 21 years old, while Karthi is 47.
