John Abraham: Just survives on a delectable combo of good looks and brawns. He manages to dodge normal scenes with a little bit of acting here and there, but looks out of place in emotional scenes. John gives his best in the company of babes and bikes.
Salman Khan: He is the bad boy of Bollywood, and never short of antics –– on and off the screen. His best film till date is still Maine Pyar Kiya. Continues to be a ‘superstar’ with some good networking skills in the Bollywood. He has managed to feed media with stories ranging from Aishwarya to Blackbucks to Underworld. Salman is a Mike Tyson in the making.
Fardeen Khan: Being the son of a rich and famous father, he knows how to pull the right strings. Been around for some years now, and failed miserably in most of his films. Except for a bit of dancing, he isn’t good at anything. Occasionally gets into controversies.
Emran Hashmi: A kisser par excellence, he is Mahesh Bhatt’s protégé. From drama to mystery, he’s done it all. With Himesh Reshammiya’s music blazing in the background, Emran lurks around the streets of London and Seoul without much success. He only achievement till date is romancing a lot of new generation babes from India and Pakistan.
Bobby Deol: Been around for some years now, and still not confident enough. Looks ok in action scenes but he is found wanting in emotional and comedy scenes. His inclusion in the film is a big mystery in most of his murder mysteries. Thankfully, Bobby is not ‘circulation’ these days.
Aishwarya Rai: She is all over Bollywood and Hollywood, but is yet to make a mark as an actor. Compared to her earlier Jeans, she’s come a long way now. Without doing anything, she has the knack to be in news. Only time Ash looked convincing was in the Kaj ra re dance number from Bunty Aur Babli. Her survival kit comprises of stunning looks and sheer luck.
Kareena Kapoor: Unlike her elder sister, Kareena struggles when it comes to acting. Using her Kapoor connections, she has managed to get roles in some of the famous banners of the industry. But, sadly her success flight is yet to take off. Makes more news with her association with Shahid Kapoor than with her movies.
Bipasha Basu: This dusky Bengali beauty sizzles in item numbers, and then just fades away. Known as the sex symbol, she and John Abraham make a happening pair in Bollywood. One wonders why she is being offered meaty roles every now and then.
Amisha Patel: Her career never rocked unlike her debut blockbuster opposite Hrithik Roshan. She’s been around for sometime without much box office success.
Mallika Sherawat: The ‘bold’ girl has come a long way after series of super duper flops. Her PR was so good that she made it to Cannes and action hero Jackie Chan cast her in one of his movies. High time she realised that acting isn’t all about skin showing.
