RGV roped in an unusual cast for his film, Nishabd, a love story about an older man and a teenage girl.

The moral police criticised RGV's move of casting Amitabh Bachchan -- who was well into his 60s -- with newcomer Jiah Khan, still in her teens. The fact that the film was apparently inspired by Hollywood's Lolita made critics give the film a closer look.

When it finally released, Bachchan's romance with Jiah didn't look quite so bad, and the controversy died down when the film tanked.
