Sona Mohapatra is not one to mince her words and often fearlessly expresses her views and opinions on social media, putting her point across. This time, she has lashed out at the casting of the film Atrangi Re. The movie was announced last month and we also got a glimpse of the cast. Sara Ali Khan will be seen romancing both Akshay Kumar and Dhanush in the film.  Now, Sona has reacted to the casting, and pointing out the age gap, and also referred to the idiotic jokes that were made when Priyanka Chopra was marrying Nick Jonas.

Sona Mohapatra, in her tweet, questioned why Priyanka Chopra was trolled for marrying a much younger guy- Nick Jonas. She also asked if the roles were reversed, would Madhuri Dixit be cast opposite a 24-year-old young boy? She tweeted, “Can a 52 year old Madhuri Dixit get cast in a romance opposite a 24 year old young boy any time soon, #India ?I’m okay with this but would love a world that would play fair. Remember the idiotic jokes & trolling poor Priyanka Chopra was subjected to when she married Nick Jonas.”

Her fans seemed to have been divided on this opinion of hers, and while one user wrote, “Why not? Time has changed. Tabu cast in a romance opposite Ishan khattar in some web series.people now a days will accept for sure.Aishwarya cast opposite Ranbir Kapoor .they have 8-10 yrs age Gap,” another one agreed and wrote, “People won't accept that because of their inherited patriarchy. because younger women are supposedly easy to manipulate, thus this ageism!”




On the work front, Sara Ali Khan was last seen in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal opposite Kartik Aaryan. She has Coolie No 1 with Varun Dhawan lined up next. Akshay Kumar will be seen next in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, while Dhanush was seen in Pattas.
