/> After the two back-to-back Lolita-inspired love tales about autumnal men in love with much younger girls in Nishabd and Cheeni Kum it's time for Bollywood to swing the other way into films and roles replicating the 'Mrs Robinson' prototype from The Graduate of the seductive older womanm seducing a boy-man.

A few years ago Dimple Kapadia played the scandalous 'Mrs Robinson' in two back-to-back films.

In Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai and Somnath Sen's Leela, Dimple played the 40-something woman in love with a much younger man.

Now, Hyderabad-based producer Sudhish Rambhotla wants to cast 49-year old Dimple Kapadia and no one else, in a faithful adaptation of The Graduate opposite 25-year Sammir Dattani in the role of the impressionable student

This isn't the only film that takes our cinema into the forbidden area of Lolita in -reverse. The recent metro-sexual drama Metro had Shilpa Shetty playing an unhappy housewife who dates a younger man.

In Mahesh Manjrekar's Deh, Jaya Prada plays a lonely wife in a forbidden relationship with a much younger Dino Morea.

Their sexual frisson seems to replicate Raakhee Gulzar and Mukul Sharma's forbidden liaison from Aparna Sen's Paroma two decades ago.

Now Siddharth Anand has cast Bipasha Basu opposite the distinctly younger Ranbir Kapoor in a new film, and the stunning Sushmita Sen is all set to romance debutant Prashant Raj in Ram Gopal Varma's Sholay.

That's not it. At least two very major banners in Bollywood are planning remakes of Satyajit Ray's Charulata, the ultimate toy-boy classic about the bored housewife drifting intoa special bonding with her callow but caring brother-in-law.

It needn't only be about sex In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Sawariya the naïve Ranbir Kapoor shares a very special bonding with an experienced prostitute played by Rani Mukherjee.
