They have broken the rule of pairing legendry onscreen couples and instead are experimenting with fresh star cast that holds the crux of the story by doing justice with their respective roles. Pairing new actors with senior one or casting actors who were never seen before onscreen together bring a fresh whiff of breath to the audiences.
