Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone to Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt: Fresh pairs we can’t wait to watch on the big screen

The year 2020 turned out to be a damp squib especially as far as Bollywood is concerned. All plans went for a toss as everything was put on hold in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting lockdown. But the new year promises to deliver on all counts that its predecessor didn't and what can be more lucrative for film buffs than fresh pairings testing their onscreen chemistry. After Hrithik Roshan announced 'Fighter' with Deepika Padukone, we put together a list of new permutations and combinations that the industry was trying. Take a look:

After dropping hints for a year, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone made the most of their birthday period to announce their upcoming film 'Fighter'. While not much is known about the Siddharth Anand film yet, it's a given that Deepika's chemistry with her 'death-by-chocolate cake' Hrithik will be crackling.

Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda will be collaborating for a pan-India film, reportedly titled, ‘Fighter’. The Puri Jagganadh directorial, that will be partly produced by Karan Johar, has been in the news ever since the lead actors posed together for a photoshoot, offering a glimpse of their sizzling screen presence together.

While we might have to wait a tad longer to see Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan together on screen after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Inshallah’ was shelved, Salman Khan will be pairing up with Pooja Hegde for ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’. Given the fact that the actor makes almost every new co-star feel at home on the sets with his hospitality, Pooja will sure be in for a joyride.

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt may have been dating since quite some time now but the couple will make their first onscreen appearance together in Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra’. Fans of the duo are waiting with a bated breath to see if their real-life camaraderie translates to chemistry on reel. The fantasy drama also features Amitabh Bachchan, Dimple Kapadia, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Mouni Roy in key roles.

After Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone will romance South superstar Prabhas in Nag Ashwin's multilingual film. Sharing the announcement video on social media, Deepika wrote, "Beyond Thrilled! Cannot wait for what we believe is going to be an incredible journey ahead…", while the actor recently called her a "gorgeous superstar" when wishing her on her birthday. Social media banter is a window to onscreen compatibility, no?

Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani will come together for the first time for ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’, which will also star Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor in key roles.

The story that revolves around two married couples, is being directed by Raj Mehta and produced by Karan Johar. After numerous spottings together, Varun and Kiara have us convinced that they make for a cute pair indeed.
