Katrina Kaif’s young heroes

Katrina Kaif seems to be having the best of both worlds.  While she started her career with Akshay Kumar and  Salman Khan, she quickly scaled down her co-stars’ age with Ranbir Kapoor, Siddharth Malhotra and even Aditya Roy Kapoor.

And now it seems she is slipping down to another generation. In a proposed film for Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment, Katrina will be seen with Ishaan Khattar and Siddhanth Chaturvedi.

Ishaan, who made his debut with Majid Majidi’s  Beyond The Clouds in 2017, is Katrina’s contemporary  Shahid Kapoor’s younger brother. Siddhanth Chaturvedi made his debut this year as a rapper in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy.

So unless she’s playing an older woman, Katrina may have to work hard to look compatible with her juniors. It isn’t unusual for established actresses to work with younger co-stars.  Mala Sinha and Nanda co-starred with Sanjay Khan and Shashi  Kapoor, respectively.  Waheeda Rehman worked with  Rajesh  Khanna and Amitabh  Bachchan, both her juniors. More recently, Kareena Kapoor co-starred with Imran Khan in two films.
