Generation Bollywood

With hundreds of new faces, how are you supposed to know which ones are going to rise and which are going to flop?

Well, Bravura is here to tell you who to keep on your Bollywood radar!

First on the list is Neil Nitin Mukesh. This Mumbai born actor is sure to make it big in Bollywood. He started off his major acting career with a starring role in Johnny Gaddaar and then went on to win our hearts in his recent role as an innocent taxi driver in New York.

From Mukesh, we move on to the “sexiest male actor,” Ranbir Kapoor. Although he has been in the movie industry since 2007, this performer first caught our eye with his role in Saawariya for which he won Filmfare’s Best Male Debut Award. He then went on to play roles in Bachna Ae Hasseno and Rocket Singh. But Kapoor recently left an exorbitant impression on us with award from People Magazine’s as the “sexiest male actor.”

Sexy and talented? Well, we know this actor is going places!

To top this list of this list of unique entertainers is Ruslaan Mumtaz. He made a debut with his major roles in Tere Sang and Jaane Kaha Se Aayi Hai. This highly talented actor is making his next appearance in a upcoming Hollywood movie Christopher’s Miles. One thing is for sure, whether in Hollywood or Bollywood, this actor is definitely one to keep an eye on.

From sexy males, we move on to stunning females. Number 1 on our female list is Anushka Sharma. She was seen first in her major and first role as Tani in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. She left a great impression on us with her dedicated acting and Filmfare’s Best Actress award. Leaving us after a heartwarming performance, Sharma is coming back to the screen with two new roles in YRF’s Next and Patiala House, both headed for the big screen in 2010.

Next on our list is Vidya Balan. In 2005, this Tamil born actress starred in Parineeta as Lolita. Her performance earned her the Filmfare Best Debut Actress Award and the Filmfare Face of the Year. From Parineeta, Balan was next seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Balan’s recent role in Paa left us on the edge of our seats. Although she may not yet be a recognizable face, we know this actress is on her way to Bollywood success!

Although the next actress on our list has a short experience of acting, her roles have left us speechless. Deepika Padukone won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for her stupendous role in Om Shanti Om. This followed her role in Bachna Ae Haseeno and Love Aaj Kal. But she didn’t stop there. Padukone went on to film two more movies which are to be released in February and April 2010. No doubt, we’ll be keeping a close watch on this leading lady.

With our top three actors and actresses, we’ll be sure to keep our radar in hand for these 2010 releases. This new Bollywood generation is sure to heat up the big screen!
