Rajkummar Rao To Grow A Beard For Aishwarya

The very talented Rajkummar Rao who turned 30 this month will be romancing the very beautiful Aishwarya Rai  Bachchan who crossed 40 last year.

The  film Fanney Khan to be helmed by debutant director Atul Manjrekar, selected Rao who is seen  as  kind of steady actor who stands out even when the female protagonist has a strong part..

While Rao and Rai do make  for an interesting combination, there is a slight practical problem regarding their 10-year age difference. But nothing that a  bit of facial hair can’t alter. We hear  Rajkummar will grow a  beard to look compatible with his co-star rather than a  fanboy which Raj admits to being.

Says  the forthright Barelli Ki Barfi actor, “I am super-excited, really happy to be working with her(Aishwarya).I’ll start preparing for my part in FanneyKhan the moment I am  done shooting for my film on Subhas Chandra Bose.”

Years ago when Shah Rukh Khan faced the same compatibility issue with his favourite Sridevi in the film Army he had pasted a moustache on  his face to add years to his biological age.Never again did Shah Rukh use facial hair, as he hates disguises and makeup.
