2015 Preview: Debutants of the Year!

Beginning the list is the ever so handsome and talented Karan Singh Grover. Grover began his life on the small screen as a soap-opera actor and garnered popularity amongst audiences through the hit medical drama Dill Mill Gayye and the dramatic love story in a Muslim backdrop of Qubool Hai. Grover is all set to prove his mettle in Bollywood with director Bhushan Patel's upcoming horror flick Alone, opposite Bipasha Basu. The story tells the tale of two conjoined twin sisters, who promise to always be by each others side, until one of them dies. Years later her ghost self is back to haunt the living sister, to seek revenge for the broken promise. With the film's music and trailer already becoming the hot talk of the town and getting Grover fans excited with anticipation, Alone is expected to dazzle the silver screen on January 16. The answer to whether Grover shall manage to make his presence known and outshine the others is eagerly being awaited by all and sundry.

Next on the list is the dashing and gifted Gurmeet Choudhary. This skilled dancer made his appearance on many dance reality shows and has been a part of many Indian soap operas. His biggest successes to date have included the dramas Geet - Hui Sabse Parayi and Punar Vivah. Choudhary has gotten the big ticket to Bollywood and will be making his debut on January 30th with Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt's erotic thriller Khamoshiyan. The film narrates the story of a writer who accidentally stumbles across a woman who has a very dark past, all in the beautiful locale of Kashmir. Rumor has it that Choudhary is going to switch up his hero image and play the antagonist in the movie. We do hope the risky debut works in his favor and he adds to his large fan base! Alongside him is debutante Sapna Pabbi and the known actor Ali Fazal.

This talented and beautiful actress has made quite a name for herself in the TV industry and is hoping to do the same in B-Town this year. She stepped into the world of glamor at a young age and has a myriad of popular shows to her credit including Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Dill Mill Gayye and Saraswatichandra. Her debut will be opposite director-turned-actor Kunal Kohli in the film Phir Se, which is set to hit theaters in May this year. The movie has managed to create a lot of hype amongst fans, what with the beautiful outdoor locations and the bright new look of the actress. The result of Kolhi's shift from behind-the-scenes to the front of the camera is yet to be seen!

Following her family legacy,  Kamal Hassan's second daughter Akshara Hassan is all ready to set the screen ablaze this year. After working behind the camera for a long time as an assistant director, Haasan is foraying into the acting world with her debut in R. Balki's upcoming venture titled Shamitabh, alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush in lead roles. While Bachchan is already being cited to be all praises of the young lass, we do hope that news about her giving the contemporaries a run for their money is indeed true.

Harshvardhan Kapoor, the son of actor-producer Anil Kapoor and brother of actress-cum-fashionista Sonam Kapoor is stepping onto the ladder of Bollywood via director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's dream project Mirziya. He shall be working opposite another debut actress, Saiyami Kher, who also has an acting lineage. The story is based upon the age long folklore showcasing the tragic story of Mirza and Sahibaan. The movie is said to be a wonderful love story that viewers will be eager to watch as much as the director is keen on having it on the big screen. Let's see how well the Kapoor lad is able to portray this challenging role!

Along with these, there are a few other people who are making their debuts, including Nathalia Kaur in Rocky Handsome, Vikas Kumar in Prithipal Singh...A Story, Sooraj Pancholi in Hero (Remake) and Athiya Shetty in Hero (Remake).
