6 Newcomers To Watch Out For

The  thing about  newcomers  is, you never where they are  coming from…unless they come from a  film family. In which case we are informed well in advance  of their arrival.Alarmingly  the influx of new talent into  Bollywood from non-film families has stopped  completely.  Here’s looking at the  ones who bring hope.

1. Rinzing Denzongpa: Danny Denzongpa’a son , I am told, can do anything.  An all-rounder, Rinzing dances, fights, emotes, and  makes people laugh too. While his  first film  is an actioner titled Squad Bollywood’s producers are lining up to cast   him in a bouquet  of parts. Papa Danny is  keeping  out  of his son’s career. “When I came  into the  industry I fought  biases,  discrimination and privileged star sons. Rinzing will have to fight his  own battles,” Danny told me.

2.Manushi Chillar:  Beauty queens  have  had a chequered career in  Bollywood.Largely they have been seen to be lookers with no talent. Would Manushi Chillar  break the myth? She plays the mythical beauty Sanjukta  who was  whisked away  by  Prithviraj Chauhan  from her swayamvar in Chandraprakash Diwedi’s Prithviraj Chauhan. Not  a conventional way to start. But then different is the  new normal, right? I hope Ms  Chillar  has not been shortchanged  by the  masculine script. Her  future depends on where Aditya Chopra intends to take  her next.

2.     Ahan  Shetty:  Sunil Shetty’s son is said to be every bit  a chip of  the old block, the same agility in action scenes, plus  some striking acting schopts too!  Producer SajidNadiadwala who  is launching  Ahan in Tadap says  he is  full-on star material. Sajidshould know. He has earlier launched Tiger Shroff.  Ahan has a solid  debut film , a remake of  Ajay Bhupathi’s Telugu film RDX 100.It should do the  trick.

3.     Lakshya Lalwani: A Karan  Johar discovery is  more likely to  succeed than not.Remember  Alia Bhatt,Siddharth Malhotra,Varun Dhawan?  Lakshya who comes  from television has  no  family ties in Bollywood. Karan  Johar  says he has been  chosen entirely on merit. We  believe. Lakshya is playing the  parallel lead  with Kartik Aryan in Karan  Johar’s Dostana opposite Janhvi  Kapoor. 

4.     Sharvari Wagh:  An Aditya Chopra protégée is always  interesting…and welcomed  in the film industry. Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma were two of the most distinguished Yashraj alumni. Now  it is Sharwari Wagh  who is paired with the  promising Gully Boyactor Siddhant Chaturvedi in Bunty Aur Babli2. The  buzz is that   the  young pair has stolen the show  completely from the  older pair Saif Ali Khan and  Rani Mukherjee.

5.     Palak Tiwari: Daughter  of the popular television actress Shweta Tiwary  , Palak will make her debut  in a real-life  drama based on an incident in Gurgram that shook  the country. The  project titled  Rosie The Saffron Chapter portrays  Palak as a  victim  of  a gruesome  crime.
