Emotions of love change with age, says Tabu

Mumbai: They played a young couple in ‘Vijaypath’ and now that Tabu is reteaming with her frequent co-star Ajay Devgn for a mature romance in ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’, the actor is happy that cinema and audiences are more receptive to such stories today.

Directed by Neeraj Pandey, the upcoming Hindi film revolves around Krishna (Devgn) and Vasudha (Tabu), a couple who separate when Krishna is jailed for murder. They cross paths after 20 years when he is released from prison.

Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar play the younger Krishna and Vasudha, respectively.

At the trailer launch event of ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’, Tabu thanked Pandey for ‘envisioning this love story’ with her and Devgn.

“When our society changes, our cinema and entertainment changes. It’s nice. Society changes everything around us. Now the label has gone into cinema, saying that love is only for the young. The depth of feeling and emotion of love change with age. Now, there is space for everything in the cinema. A film director’s vision, actors, distributors and the audience’s taste - they all should coincide for such films to work,” the actor told reporters here.

Billed as a musical romantic drama, ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum That’ also stars Jimmy Shergill and Sayaji Shinde. The original soundtrack of the film was created by Oscar-winning composer MM Kreem and the lyrics are by Manoj Muntashir.

The film is produced by Narendra Hirawat, Kumar Mangat Pathak (‘Panorama Studios’), Sangeeta Ahir and Shital Bhatia. It will be released on July 5.
