Because the stud muffins need a shout out too!
We list the hottest male performers of the year:
1. Shahid Kapoor
His role in "Haider" can be described as the best performance of his career. Shot in the Kashmir valley, the quintessential Vishal Bhardwaj directorial was an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Apart from doing good business at the box office, the film was well received by critics, who were enamoured by Shahid's work.
2. Randeep Hooda
Imtiaz Ali's "Highway" featured the off-beat pair of Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda. This however did not stop the film from making an impact on the audience. Mostly shot in the scenic locales of northern India, it presented Hooda as a goon who kidnaps the protagonist, and he breezed through his role. A classic example of Stockholm Syndrome, the film gathered much critical acclaim following its release in February. Apart from "Highway", Hooda also appeared in a pivotal role in Salman Khan starrer "Kick" and he lived up to the expectation of his fans in the commercial drama. Plus, have you seen his abs? Drool.
3. Nawazuddin Siddiqui
After giving extraordinary performances in the past years, Nawaz yet again exhibited his talent in "Kick", a masala movie, and then wowed with his performance in indie movie "Liar's Dice", which was India's official Oscar entry for the best foreign language film category.
4. Rajkummar Rao
He played Vijay in "Queen" and Deepak Singh in "CityLights" and proved his versatility through the lucid roles. The former was a women centric drama and Rajkummar created the perfect contrast for the protagonist. "CityLights", directed by Hansal Mehta, saw him in the much central and serious role. Centered on urban-rural migration, the film, an adaptation of a British movie "Metro Manila", saw the actor giving his best.
5. Salman Khan
Although the Bollywood superstar did not feature in any movie in 2013, Salman has had two releases this year, "Jai Ho", which also stars Daisy Shah and Tabu, and "Kick"."Kick", which released ahead of Eid, crossed the Rs.100-crore mark on the fifth day after its release. Bhai will be bhai!
6. Hrithik Roshan
Although Hrithik's action-thriller "Bang Bang!" didn't appeal to the critics, the film did exceptionally well at the box-office, crossing Rs.150 crore in India, and took the worldwide box office collection to close to Rs.300 crore. BRB, taking screenshots.
7. Akshay Kumar
We suggest you don't spend your time watching 'Entertainment' or 'Holiday' but the man sure is hot.
8. Shah Rukh Khan
Happy New Year or not, his eight pack abs makes watching the film totally worth it.
9. Ajay Devgn
His movies "Singham Returns" and "Action Jackson" have both had super openings. While the former amassed Rs.32.09 crore on the opening weekend, the latter collected Rs.28 crore.
10. Aamir Khan
Last but not the least - Bollywood's perfectionist Aamir Khan is the talk of the town, thanks to his alien avatar in "PK". Everyone unanimously feels that Aamir has surpassed his past performances with the film, which throws light on the ills in society. Once again he has proved, when it comes to choosing subject, he knows how to stand out.
