Soorarai Pottru Remake: Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan’s 28-Year Age-Gap Annoys Twitterati but Did Suriya’s Tamil Original Fare Better?
The untitled remake of Soorarai Pottru, a biopic on Captain Gopinath, is directed by Sudha Kongara and is produced by Suriya. Aparna Balamurali had played the female lead in the original.
Another day, another remake in B-town. The remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Soorarai Pottru has begun rolling in Bollywood with Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan in the lead. While fans are already pissed with Bollywood's continued obsession with remakes, Twitterati is also annoyed with the age gape between the two leads. Akshay and Radhika would be playing a married couple in the film, going by the original movie, and they have a 28-year age difference in real. Akshay Kumar is 54, while Radhika Madan is 26. Interestingly, Sara Ali Khan who played (SPOILER ALERT) Akshay's daughter in Atrangi Re is of the same age as Radhika.

Really Uncomfortable?
Granddaughter?
Horrible Casting?
Fun Facts?
Gross?
It isn't that the original Tamil film is faring better in this matter. Though there is no 28-year chasm here, but the leads of Soorarai Pottru - Suriya and Aparana Balamurali have a 20-year age gap between them.
