At a time when regional cinema is getting its due recognition, South movie stars are also breaking barriers and booking their ticket to Bollywood. Here’s a list of south stars lining up to take over the big screens in B-town:
Samantha
She is all set to stake her claim of Bollywood with her first Hindi film bankrolled by Taapsee Pannu. The actress, who most recently made waves with her stellar act in the OTT series ‘The Family Man 2’, will now take over the big screen in a female-centric thriller.
Vijay Deverakonda
He wooed the audience with his bad-boy act in ‘Arjun Reddy’. Now fans will soon get to sit ringside and cheer him on as he plays an MMA fighter in Karan Johar’s ‘Liger’. The hunk will bring the rags to riches story of a slumdog chai wala turned world champ in the film that also stars Ananya Panday and boxing legend Mike Tyson.
Rashmika Mandanna
The southern beauty will share the screen with B-town hunk Sidharth Malhotra in the spy thriller ‘Mission Majnu’ that is inspired by real events.
Naga Chaitanya
The Telugu star got an offer he could not refuse when Aamir Khan personally called him to offer a role in ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. Naga revealed that Aamir offered him one of the key roles of Bala in the upcoming remake of the Hollywood film ‘Forrest Gump’.
Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas
He is set to make his Hindi film debut with the remake of S S Rajamouli’s 2005 movie ‘Chatrapathi’. The new movie will be helmed by filmmaker V V Vinayak.
