Bollywood’s new on-screen couples: Ayushmann Khurrana pairs up with Rakul Preet Singh; Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone unite

Bollywood’s been stuck in a rut for some time – the same pair-ups in different plots, but all that is about to change. This is the year of new chemistry and boy, are these experiments interesting. Here’s a look at some new on-screen couples.

Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh in ‘Doctor G’. As the name suggests, this tale will be set in the healthcare sector where the two actors will play doctors. Anubhuti Kashyap ( Anurag Kashyap’s sister) is directing the movie, slated for June 17.

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in ‘Fighter’. Both actors are known for their model looks, stellar acting and an ability to get into the skin of a character, so we don’t know how this two weren’t pushed together before now. Oh, well better late than never. The movie, touted as India's first aerial action franchise, debuts on January 26, 2023.

Another couple with incredible chemistry is Deepika and Siddhant Chaturvedi. If you check out the trailer of 'Gehraiyaan' on Amazon Prime, you will know what we are getting at.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are known to have incredible chemistry with their co-stars ,and there’s a good chance that they will set the screen on fire together.

Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in ‘Badhaai Do’. Another coupling that promises good acting is ‘Badhaai Do’, slated for release on February 4. In it, Rao will play a cop while Pednekar takes on the mantle of a teacher.

Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in ‘Adipurush’. The movie is based on the Indian epic ‘Ramayana’ , and these two will take on the iconic roles of Lord Rama and his wife, Sita. Sunny Singh has been cast as Laxman and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan.

Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi in ‘Phone Bhoot’. Horror comedies are rare but done well, they can be quite a treat. (The last one we liked was ‘Stree’, featuring Rajkummar Rao and playing now on Netflix.) ‘Phone Bhoot’, dirercted by Gurmmeet Singh, is all set for a July release.

Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani in ‘Jug Jug Jeeyo’. This gorgeous pairing will be star together for the first time in the upcoming comedy drama directed by Raj Mehta. The film also stars veteran actors Neetu Kapoor and Anil Kapoor.

‘Student of the Year 2’ actress Ananya Panday will light up the screen with Vijay Devarakonda in ‘Liger’, which will be the South Indian superstar’s Bollywood debut. American professional boxer Mike Tyson will also have a role in the action movie.

Priyamani will make her Bollywood debut in the sports drama Maidaan, which also stars Ajay Devgn. Bollywood has produced a number of excellent sports dramas in recent years, and it will be interesting to see this new couple onscreen.
