Bollywood has always been the older man's hunting ground. Frequently grizzled heroes decades past their prime romance actresses old enough to be their grand-neice, and chauvinistically get away with it.
Yet there are times the tide is turned, times when we try to take a leaf out of Mrs Robinson's book and let the leading man be younger than the lady. Here's a quick look at the next such film -- and a few memorable ones over the last decade or so.

The upcoming Yash Raj Films release is reportedly a remake of Chris O'Donnell starrer The Bachelor, and features Ranbir opposite real-life lover Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba as well. Yet the sparks we're waiting to see are the flinty ones likely to fly when the youngster tries to get it on with the steamiest of modern day sirens, Bips, well-capable of chewing up far older men.
