/> Remember Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai where the veteran actress Suhasini Mulay played a distressed mother who watches in dismay as her son (Akshaye Khanna) falls for an older womam?

In Naseeruddin Shah's Yun Hota To Kya Hota Suhasini Mulay playrd a woman who becomes the object of adoration for a much younger man.

With Amitabh Bachchan and Jackie Shroff giving their hearts away to girls one-third their ages in Ram Gopal Varma's Nishabd and Shashilal Nair's Lolita, is this the season for generation-challenged romances in Hindi films?

There have been films like Dil Chahta Hai, Anmol and Being Cyrus (all featuring Dimple Kapadia!) where a 40-plus woman has fallen for a much younger man.

Producer Sudhish Rambhotla of Hyderabad's ColorChips production house, is currently planning a film with Sammir Dattani that's based on The Summer Of 42. Rambhotla wants Rekha, Shabana or Dimple to play the romantic lead opposite Sammir.

"Why not?" says Irrfan Khan "Hindi cnema is maturing and it's wonderful to be be a part of a film like Yun Hota To Kya Hota. I played opposite Suhasini.

I'm a guy who looked for a mother-figure in his love. It was s definitely a departure from the way man-woman relationships are depicted in films these days."

Irrfan played a working –class man in his 40s totally besotted by an older woman. "My character adored the woman to the point of worship. She's very classy and I'm nothing but a diversion for her.

She'd happily make love to another man if he found someone more interesting.

Suhasini and I shared a very important love-making scene, a part of which was edited in the final cut. But the scene combined food and sex.

We went into this whole sensuous culinary mood which ends with me putting two ice-cream cones on her two knees...almost like two boobs on the leg..It was bizarre and fascinating.

I had never done anything like this," confesses Irrfan who started his career making violent love to Dimple Kapadia in Govind Nihalani's Drishti.

A new beginning for Irrfan as the love machine? He laughs. "It's always a pleasure to make love to leading ladies who are also great actresses, like Dimple, Tabu and Suhasini."
