B-Town actors don't feel the need to go on a signing spree just because their last project has hit the marquee and they don't have another movie in their kitty. With high expectation from their releases at the box office, picking the right movie is imperative. Here's who taking their time before signing their next project.

Aamir Khan
Last release: PK
What now
: The actor is taking it easy at the moment
Rumours are flying that the actor has signed Nitesh Tiwari's movie Dangal, which is based on the life of a wrestler. Nitesh has previously directed Bhoothnath Returns and co-directed Chillar Party. There were reports claming that Aamir visited the gym regularly to bulk up for the role even while the promotions for PK were on in full swing. Aamir denied the rumours in a recent interview, saying, "I haven't signed any film right now. I can tell you 30 more rumours about me doing some film. Right now, I am just reading scripts."

Arjun Kapoor
Last release: Tevar (Releases this week)
What now
: Nothing, post the film. He hasn't signed anything yet
Says Arjun, "I don't think I will be shooting till Feb-March even if I do sign something. I haven't found anything yet. I have read some stuff, some of it has interested me to some level, some stuff hasn't. Also, I would like to break that image of being rustic and edgy. After Tevar, it would be nice to explore something new. I am trying to find that. I am venturing out and am hoping something different comes my way. Maybe an urban film, or a heist film or a crime caper. I hope to find something that I haven't yet done. I can go back to doing an action film again, but it would be nice to do a movie in a new genre. I just have to be patient."

Parineeti Chopra
Last release: Kill Dil
What now
: On a break. Is yet to announce her next project
Pari's last two movies - Daawat-e-Ishq and Kill Dill – flopped. Even her movie under Dharma Production's banner – Hasee Toh Phasee – did average business. On the other hand, contemporaries, Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor got critical acclaim as well as box-office success in the last one year. No wonder then, the actress would want to sign her next movie with more caution. She says, "Right now, what I have been offered is not so exciting. I haven't fallen in love with any script. I did four films back-to-back - Shuddh Desi Romance, Hasee Toh Phasee, Dawaat-e-Ishq and Kill Dil - it was a crazy year for me."
