In the current scenario of the film industry, it has become increasingly common for senior heroes to share the screen with younger heroines, creating a trend where age differences between on-screen pairs are more noticeable. This trend is particularly prevalent in Tollywood, where directors and producers often find it challenging to cast heroines of a similar age for senior actors like Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, Balakrishna, and Nagarjuna.

 As a result, younger generation heroines are frequently paired with senior heroes. The rise of social media has brought everything under scrutiny, making it susceptible to online trolling. This phenomenon is evident in the case of senior hero nagarjuna, who is set to grace the screen this sankranti with the village backdrop mass entertainer, 'Na Samiranga.' In this film, nagarjuna is paired with 35-year-old Ashika Ranganath, sparking some negative comments on social media.


 Some audiences, having seen the songs and teasers, express dissatisfaction, stating that nagarjuna and Ashika ranganath do not make a suitable on-screen pair, emphasizing the perceived age difference. Similar criticisms were directed at the pairing of ravi Teja and Srileela in 'Dhamaka.' However, despite the initial backlash, the movie became a blockbuster at the box office, showcasing the audience's acceptance and enjoyment of the on-screen pair. 


This success was attributed to the director's creation of an impressive screenplay with fresh characterizations, which allowed the audience to overlook the age difference and focus on the engaging narrative. The success of 'Na Samiranga' is anticipated to depend on director Vijay Binny's ability to provide an engaging screenplay and impressive characterizations between nagarjuna and Ashika Ranganath. If the audience can immerse themselves in the story and forget the age difference, there is a potential for strong support for the movie.
