After 2006, we saw several young bloods making their big debuts in Bollywood. Well, they also had their Bollywood blood in them. The names include Imran Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Harman Baweja and Jacky Bhagnani. But the only name we see today in the success actors list is undoubtedly Ranbir Kapoor.
Neil Nitin Mukesh was considered as a promising actor when his movie Johnny Gaddar was released. But it seems like his cards were not right when he stepped into the entertainment world as he is still in the run to get his name in the lead actors list.
There was a huge hue and cry when it was reported that the look alike of Hrithik Roshan would debut in Bollywood and would prove to be a tough competition for the actor. But when Harman Baweja made his debut people failed to even recognize him as a star let alone the look alike. Well, his entry and exit was evidently not really considered a competition to any of the new comers then.
Jacky Bhagnani when debuted in Bollywood should have really thought twice about the movie with which he was debuting. Well, seriously, how many of you guys even remember the name? But his movie F.A.L.T.U was partially a right choice for him. At least we had Remo debuting as a director and of course the popular number Chaar Baj Gaye was indeed the bonus track for him.
Imran Khan’s debut was perfect. The right story, the right banner backing him and release at the right time. And the response, of course, had to be the best. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na proved to be a great opening for Imran Khan. But what followed was his repetitive roles and weak selection of movies. He took up a bold step by moving away from the chocolate boy image to rugged look in Kidnap. Though the movie received an average response, his effort was appreciated. But his movie Luck proved to be an unlucky one for him. Imran later could not come out of his charming and the boy next door image which was continued in his later movies like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Ek Mein Aur Ek Tu, Break Ke Baad, I Hate Luv Stroys and similar.
But the one graph which has always been elevating since the beginning was of Ranbir Kapoor’s. With no hick up, anybody can say that his debut movie was a complete flop. Well, he is a Kapoor and history shows that the Kapoors rule the industry. He proved it again. Ranbir’s success rate has been unmatched. Bachna Ae Haseeno, Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani, Rajneeti, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Rockstar and to the recent Barfi; Ranbir has not seen replicating his roles. He proved that he could transform himself from the stupid and funny Prem of Ajab Prem… to the don’t-mess-with-me Samar Pratap of Rajneeti. This versatile actor proved to be a true blood of Kapoor.
Well, with more of the young bloods debuting, it will be interesting to wait and watch who makes it to the top list in the coming days.
