Mumbai: Like Sonakshi Sinha, Prachi Desai also seems to be opting to act with older heroes.
After working with Abhishek Bachchan in Bol Bachchan, the actress will now play the lead opposite Sanjay Dutt. The actress has given her nod to co-star with Sanjay Dutt in the Hindi remake of the Tamil flick Saamy. She begins shooting for the film later this month in Hyderabad.
Prachi Desai is 23, while Sanjay Dutt is 53. After the success of Bol Bachchan, Prachi Desai is apparently keen to do projects with established stars in lavish productions.
So their age difference does not matter for the actress. In her previous films, she has featured with Farhan Akhtar (Rock On), Tusshar Kapoor (Life Partner) and Emraan Hashmi (Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai) besides Abhishek Bachchan, who are all in their 30s.
Interestingly even in her small screen debut Kasamh Se, had her paired with an older man played by Ram Kapoor.
When asked about the pairing, the film's producer T P Aggarwal said, "Prachi might come across as someone extremely young to be paired with Sanjay Dutt. But we wanted a girl who did not have the oomph factor in her. We wanted someone who could carry off the girl-next-door image well and who could be better than Prachi? She fitted the character just right."
The film is directed by K S Ravikumar and marks the Tamil director's Bollywood debut. Ravikumar had earlier directed the Kamal Haasan starrer Dasavathaaram.
Reportedly, Sanjay Dutt essays the character of a roughneck cop in the film. The original Saamy, which released in 2003, starred Vikram and Trisha.
