Amruta Subhash's Role in 'Gully Boy' Amid Age Concerns
Imagine a movie where the actor playing the mom is almost the same age as the actor playing the son!
That's what happened in the movie 'Gully Boy'.
The director, Zoya Akhtar, wasn't sure if the actress Amruta Subhash could play the role of Ranveer Singh's mother because they weren't that far apart in age.
Amruta really wanted the part and convinced the director.
It was a bit unusual because usually, the age difference between actors playing mothers and their children in movies is much bigger.
But in the end, Amruta's performance worked, and the audience believed their mother-son relationship.
Amruta Subhash played Ranveer Singh's mother in 'Gully Boy', despite a small age gap.
Zoya Akhtar was initially hesitant to cast Amruta Subhash due to the age difference.
The age difference between Amruta and Ranveer is only six years.
Zoya Akhtar was concerned whether Amruta could convincingly portray the mother role.
Amruta Subhash was seen by Zoya Akhtar in 'Raman Raghav' before being considered for the role.
