Kings and Queens of SEQUELS

Filmfare lists the actors who make their living starring in sequels


1. Emraan Hashmi
Seen in: Murder series, Raaz series, Jannat series

Emraan Hashmi has created his own brand. His Murder, Raaz and Jannat series have made it big under uncle and mentor Mahesh Bhatt's production acumen. Pair him opposite a newbie like Esha Gupta or a decade old Bipasha Basu, Emraan Hashmi complements his co- actress and brings in steaming chemistry. His USP is his serial kisser lady killer reputation.

2.
Riteish Deshmukh
Seen in: Double Dhamaal, Kya Super Kool Hai Hum, Housefull 2
In the pipeline: Grand Masti and might star in Dostana 2

He can rightly be called the sequel king. His chemistry is more popular with his male co-stars for example Akshay Kumar in Heyy Baaby and in the Housefull series, his comic timing being his forte

3.
Arshad Warsi
Seen in: Munnabhai series, Dhamaal series, Golmaal series
In the pipeline: Munnabhai Chale America and Dedh Ishqiya

No one else can replace Arshad Warsi in the roles he has played, such is the power of his performances. He is best known for his role, Circuit in the Munnabhai series. He even won the Black Lady for his comic role in Lagey Raho Munnabhai. His slapstick comedies like Dhamaal and Golmaal have gone down to become superhits. He can also be called the uncrowned king of sequels, since he has done three parts of Golmaal and he is ready to shoot the third part of Munnabhai series. He's also doing the sequel of Dedh Ishqiya.

4.
Randeep Hooda
Seen in: Murder 3, Jism 2, Jannat 2
He is new to this business. However, slowly but surely, Randeep Hooda is developing the knack of striking the right chords in the showbiz. He's understood how important it's to shed inhibitions. His performance in Jannat 2 caught the attention of critics and audiences with some even suggesting that he had overshadowed Emraan Hashmi. Moreover he replaced Emraan in Murder3 and emerged victorious. He even turned into a male sex-symbol with Jism 2
5.
Jacqueline Fernandez
Seen in: Murder 2, Housefull 2, Race 2

Viola! We found the queen of sequels. Out of her five releases, three have been sequels. Jacqueline was brought to limelight by Vishesh Films' Murder 2. The leggy lass soon became the talk of the town. She was also offered Raaz 3 and Krissh 3, which she rejected later.
6.
Bipasha Basu
Seen in: Raaz 3, Phir Hera Pheri, Darna Zaroori Hai, Dhoom 2, cameo in Race 2
In the pipeline: No Entry Mein Entry

Her presence in Dhoom 2 and Raaz 3 made an impact. Bipasha Basu was tailor made for Dhoom 2, a franchise for bike and babes. She looked smoking hot and also donned a bikini in the film. Raaz 3 she resurrected her career and set the ball rolling

Jacqueline cannot be called the queen of sequel since she wasn't in Housefull or Race. For her, Houseful 2 and Race 2 were new movies.
