Bollywood has seen a rush of contemporary actors who nearly revolutionised the way we look at Hindi cinema. Not only are they going past the formula of cinema-making, but are also continually surprising the audience by genre-hopping, even after establishing their first impression. From Rohit Saraf, Pratibha Ranta and others, here’s looking at actors who have proven their versatility beyond their first impressions. 

Rohit Saraf: Rohit Saraf had kickstarted his journey by playing an empathetic brother in Dear Zindagi, and later, he created his own rom-com world with the beloved Mismatched series. But beyond that too, Saraf headlined some of the celebrated hits including Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, The Revolutionaries, and has also played pivotal roles in Vikram Vedha, The Sky is Pink and more, only to put his versatility on full display with each project. 

Pratibha Ranta: Pratibha Ranta made her film debut with the acclaimed release, Laapataa Ladies, making the audience and critics notice her potential. Having always been inclined towards self-exploration, the actress won hearts with the period drama series ‘Heeramandi’, the psychological thriller ‘Accused’ and her latest one also being a period drama ‘The Revolutionaries’.

Ananya Panday: Ananya Panday has never been the actress to walk the path of predictability. After establishing herself as a promising actress with her debut film, Student of the Year 2, Panday saw Bollywood as an open ground, allowing her to step into a range of titles including Pati, Patni Aur Woh, Gehraiyaan, Dream Girl 2, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Call Me Bae and several others.

Sharvari Wagh: Sharvari Wagh has been making selective choices of projects everytime she’s made one. Be it Munjya, Vedaa, Maharaj, Main Vaapas Aaunga or her latest release, Alpha, Sharvari is dabbling across genres and is continuing to impress audience with her ability to play a range of characters.

Siddhant Chaturvedi: From giving an unforgettable performance as MC Sher in his debut film ‘Gully Boy’ to coming far enough to headline an array of films across genres including romantic dramas, actioners, comedy dramas and others with films like Dhadak 2, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Gehraiyaan, Yudhra, Do Deewane Seher Mein and others, Siddhant Chaturvedi has often brought a smooth balance of potential and the ability to do justice to every title he picks.
