Unconventional onscreen pairings: Aishwarya Rai-Rajkummar Rao in Fanney Khan and others

Rajkumar Rao will romance Aishwarya Rai in Fanny Khan But this is not the first time that we will see an unconventional couple. Films like A Dil Hai Mushkil, Razi, Picu and Pyaar Ka Side Effects are among those who are remembered for its unique castings.

When Fannie Khan artists were announced, Anil Kapoor was excited after many years with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But there was something else that pulled the attention. It was a pair of Aishwarya with Rajkumar Rao. Yes, Ash is set on romance, not Neel Kapoor, but in Prince Fanny Khan!

This is not the first time that Bollywood has wandered its audience with unorthodox couples. Filmmakers are always at a glance for actors who have never been put together. Many times it hits the bull's eye and becomes thumb, there are times when the artist's chemistry is so cold that it is not able to persuade the audience.

Before Fanny Khan releases on August 3 and we make our decision on whether Aishwarya and Rajkumar make a good pair or not, here are some on-screen collaborations which we saw in the past, where artists like Chak and Paneer Were different, a different body of work, yet left a trail.

Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma - Wake up Sid

Konkana was known for his DGGM roles in content-driven films, which were dark and dirty, Ranbir was a chocolate-boy who was still marking his field in Bollywood, trying new things. This was his good friend and debut director, Ian Mukherjee, who thought of bringing these two live stars together. It was not just a unique movie but a unique romance.

Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor - Ki And Ka

Kareena has been a self proclaimed fan of Arjun for years. And finally he got to work with him in this R. Baalki film. Both artists accepted their characters from a home husband and a working wife. And they also had an intense chemistry!

Cheeni Kum – Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu

R Balki's Flair is not new for unusual castings. This is the date of his first director, Cheney Kum, where he loved Amitabh Bachchan's 64-year-old character, Taboo's 34 year old character Onscreen. And as they say, the age is no time, this film has actually justified it. Interestingly, the character of the Onscreen Father, played by Paresh Rawa, was small for Bachchan in the film!

Alia Bhatt and Viciky Kaushal - Razi

One of the biggest hits of 2018 had done everything right from direction to direction and casting. And it was also included with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. Both are powerhouse artists, but it was only director Meghna Gulzar who thought of adding them. result? Wiki set benchmark for an inactive husband!

Irfan Khan and Deepika Padukone - Piku

Attracts opponents' hearing? Irfan and Deepika proved. They come from a filmography which is different pole. Yet they fit in a movie like a puzzle piece. Both did not talk to romance, but they exchanged glow. And when he tried to find a middle path to match his personality, the audience sat with a smile through everyone.

Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda - Highways

Road play narrates the story of a girl who develops Stockholm syndrome after abduction. The plot is not rare, but the direction of Iliaz Ali is complete with the out-of-the-box casting of Alia and Randeep, which makes it very exciting. While Randeep puts the tag of one of Bollywood's dark horses, at that time, Aliya, only one movie was old and we were still looking at the actor. Many reasons to make the highway special!

Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat - Pyaar Ke Side Effects

Yet in another case of an artist a generous siren meeting Rahul loves a lot about his films. Where Mallika was a bombardment at that point. Their castings started shocking at first, only to prove to everyone wrong when the audience saw how they could be against each other. They actually created the admirable onscreen pairs.

Kareena Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh – Udta Punjab

This was a total fan moment for Diljeet when he was kept in the controversial film opposite Kareena. Although his romance was tragic, his characters had a glow, which he tried to bury in front of a big issue he fought together. But can we really stop the activities of love?

Naseeruddin Shah and Madhuri Dixit – Dedh Ishqiya

We are still wondering whose happiness was to romance another - Naseeruddin Shah or Madhuri? Both are Bollywood icons, and so when they had to romance on the screen, their respect for each other was clear.


There was a love story filled with poetry and beautiful eyes. Of course, these two amazing artists knew how to draw any kind of role, even if it meant romancing someone from any other generation!
