New year, new pairs. That is one of the big tricks Bollywood always loves lining up at the turn of every year, to add freshness and boost box office prospects. The year 2014 will not be any different.
Several films that are being readied for release this year have cast actors who have never been paired opposite each other before. While some of these pairs comprise seasoned actors, others will be interesting because they cast relatively newcomers opposite established stars.
An interesting trend that one can spot is the casting of top heroines opposite budding male stars.
Bollywood's diva of the hour Deepika Padukone, for instance, will be seen opposite the two- filmold Arjun Kapoor in Finding Fanny . In Fitoor , superstar Katrina Kaif gets to romance Aditya Roy Kapoor, 2013' s hottest loverboy after Ashiqui 2 . Priyanka Chopra is another seasoned female star on the same path. She is paired with Ranveer Singh, her junior in the industry as well as age, in Gunday . Substantial buzz is also generated around the teaming up of Ranbir Kapoor with Anushka Sharma in Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet. The chemistry that the couple strike on screen will be important because, shot lavishly on extravagant sets in Mumbai and Sri Lanka, the film is rumoured to be riding a budget of nearly Rs.100- crore.
An interesting pair to watch out for, if you love a different brand of entertainment, will be Farhan Akhtar opposite Vidya Balan. The duo plays a young middle- class couple in Shaadi Ke Side Effects , meant to be a hilarious take on marriage.
Vishal Bhardwaj has opted for budding star Shraddha Kapoor as Shahid Kapoor's heroine in Haider , a Bollywood take on William Shakespeare's Hamlet set against the backdrop of Kashmir terrorism.
Salman Khan will be seen opposite newcomers in both his releases this year. Newcomer Daisy Shah is his co- stars in Jai Ho, but don't expect them to do much beyond being eye candies in the typical action flick. Rather, Jacqueline Fernandez in Kick might get some footage opposite Salman, although that film too, is primarily the story of its hero.
It remains to be seen which new pair strikes the hottest chemistry.
