We have often seen real-life couples being paired onscreen to obtain that extra zing of chemistry. Then there are real-life couples who do co-star in a film but are not romantically paired opposite each other. The reasons are diverse for different film but there’s no denial to the fact that some directors have gone against the tide to have real-life couples in the same film but different frames.

The recent example is Sarkar Raj. This was the first film post their marriage that had both Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in its casting. Add to it there was Amitabh Bachchan to make the outing a complete family affair. But expect director Ram Gopal Varma to do the unexpected.
