Exciting times for Bollywood ahead, two new jodis announced for upcoming movies

Bollywood has always maintained a good balance when it comes to the romantic jodis in the movies. While on one hand, we have had classic pairings of Nargis-Raj Kapoor and Kajol-SRK proving that it’s okay to stick to the usual, we have also seen some fresh pairings, like that of Konkona Sen Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor, to prove that there is nothing wrong in experimenting a little when it comes to love stories. Today, we tell you of two such new and fresh pairings of Bollywood, the ones that have just surfaced, and when and where we would get to see them.

Alia Bhatt and Akshay Kumar
Even though it’s hard to believe, thanks to his good looks and physique, Kumar is 48, and Alia Bhatt, all of 22, is yet to touch the half of it. However, this clearly was the basis on which the makers of Sriram Raghavan’s upcoming movie cast them both in the movie. Raghavan, known for his thriller cinema, is adapting the famous novel Gone with the Bullet, in which an 18-year-old girl falls in love with a 40-something assassin. Well, we don’t think anyone can come up with a better couple for this movie. The movie would go on floors only next year though, so it’s quite some time before we get to see Kumar and Bhatt romancing on screen. Psst, did we tell you, Akshay would be 50 by then, unbelievable, right?

Yami Gautam and Hrithik Roshan
It surely is a good year for Gautam, who is best remembered for her role as the Bong girl Ashima in 2012 hit Vicky Donor. While having a big banner release in the form of Sanam Re, opposite Pulkit Samrat, she has also bagged the lead role opposite the Greek God actor Hrithik Roshan, in Sanjay Gupta’s next, which is titled Kaabil. Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik’s father, is going to produce this film, which will go on floors after Hrithik completes shooting for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Mohenjo Daro. Hrithik broke the news via twitter.
