Sridevi and NTR: The 40 year age gap!

Sridevi and NTR in the Telugu film Vayyari Bhamalu Vagalamari Bharthalu (1982)


When it comes to age gap between co-stars, is there a wider chasm than the one between Sridevi and NTR? 

A 55 yr old NTR romancing 15 yr old Sridevi in Telugu cinema's blockbuster of the 1970s; Vetagadu (1979). 

The success of it meant they acted together again in Vayyari Bhamalu Vagalamari Bharthalu (1982). 

When asked about what it was like to act with such senior actors (and eventually senior citizens), Sridevi either laughed off the answer, or said it was an honour to observe and learn from the greats, the thespians and legends from the industry, who provided her on-set education as Sridevi did not attend a film school or had any formal training in the art she eventually mastered. 

To be fair, her answer varied depending on who the senior stars were... !
