They’re young, hot and very happening! DNA presents the three Gen Next sirens from B-Town to watch out for in the new year...
Sonam Kapoor
Last year, Sonam was spoken more for her controversies but film-makers vouch that as an actor, she’s someone they look forward to working with. Hopefully, she’ll let her work do all the talking this year.
Films in hand: Thank You, Mausam, Players
Last year: I Hate Luv Storys, Aisha
Tradespeak:
Amod Mehra: She’s promising and is improving with each film. Like her father, she’s a lambi race ka ghoda. It’s just a matter of time when she will emerge in the top league of good actors.
Komal Nahta: Her looks and versatility are a big plus as she can blend in all kind of roles with ease, whether it is urban chic or a middle class girl from Delhi.
Deepika Padukone
Four years old in the industry, Deepika’s easily proving to be a top contender for the queen’s crown in Bollywood. A hard-working actor, she is often the first choice of many film-makers.
Films in hand: Aarakshan, Desi Boyz, Race 2, an untitled film with Saif Ali Khan
Last year: Lafangey Parindey, Break Ke Baad, Kheley Hum Jee Jaan Se, Houseful, Karthik Calling Karthik
Tradespeak:
Amod Mehra: A bankable actor, her sincerity shines through any film — hit or not. She comes without any personal baggage and is immensely popular with film-makers and co-stars.
Komal Nahta: She’s consistently good in her performances and extremely professional. No one has ever heard of her giving her film-makers a hard time.
Sonakshi Sinha
Barely a film old, Sonakshi’s showed enough promise to bag several biggies already. Film-makers feel that she makes an instant connect with her audience through her expressions and that’s also her biggest USP. Masses and classes, both find her very relatable.
Films in hand: Joker, Race 2, Dabang 2
Last year: Dabangg
Tradespeak:
Amod Mehra: Sonakshi’s a Hema Malini in the making. She has an advantage that others don’t and that is her looks. She can pass off as a young girl as easily as she can as a matured lady.
Komal Nahta: Sonakshi stood her own in front of Salman Khan, and that says a lot for her. She’s a natural in front of the camera. She’s definitely someone you could put your money on as a promising star.
