This could go down as Tellytown's year in Bollywood. In 2014, nine of small screen's hottest heartthrobs with Bollywood stardust in their eyes are all set to make swift inroads in B-Town armed with lead roles in big ticket films.
For these telly hotties who've just joined the B-Town rat race, making the big splash on celluloid is a career-defining decision, which means a deliberate and enforced sabbatical from television projects (to wipe out the over-familiarity that comes with the territory of being a TV star and create an element of curiosity about them), working hard to get fab physiques and slipping into the shoes of their reel characters. Will small screen's most loved imports strike BO gold in Bollywood too?
Siddharth Shukla: A charmer blessed with intense good looks, Mumbaikar Siddharth Shukla rose to telly fame as Shiv in Balika Vadhu. However, his moves on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6 impressed celeb judge and filmmaker Karan Johar who roped in Sid for a three-film deal. Sid who's making his B-Town debut in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is predictably upbeat about his big splash as he shares, "It was amazing working in this film. I am very happy with the way my character has shaped up." And no, as of now there are no plans of quitting TV. Until the film hits BO jackpot and more offers start pouring in that is!
