Chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor is trying to experiment with his roles and is succeeding too. After playing a business tycoon in Jab We Met and an out of work young lad in Kismat Konnection, the actor is playing a character completely opposite his image in Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminay. Keeping the entire mood of story in mind, Shahid has a look of guy who is absolutely raw, hard and tough. The much-delayed Boney Kapoor's Milenge Milenge opposite Kareena Kapoor. The film is the Hindi version of Peter Chelsom's Serendipity, which is the story of two strangers who meet by accident while shopping for their respective partners' Christmas presents. In the movie, titled Paathshala, which is being produced by Ahmed Khan and directed by Milind Ukey, Shahid is playing an English and music teacher who helps nurture a bunch of naughty and troubled kids. Shahid has also started shooting for Anurag Singh’s untitled next for Yash Raj Films. He will play the lead opposite Rani Mukerji in the film.

Two films, an action adventure directed by Soham Shah and another action film directed by Milan Luthria are scheduled to hit the floors next year.

Shahana Goswami has won many hearts with her outstanding performance as Arjun Rampal's bickering wife in Rock On!! Though she began with theatre, her main aim was to find a firm toe in Bollywood. Because of her theatre background she got a role in Naseeruddin Shah's directorial debut, Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota. But it was only after Rock On!! that she got noticed. Ru-Ba-Ru her first solo-heroine film with Randeep Hooda did not go down too well with the audience but she has every reason to rejoice. She has some very interesting films in her kitty and will be next seen in Nandita Das's Firaaq where she plays the role of a Mehendi artist, Munnera. Sudhir Mishra's Tera Kya Hoga Johnny will see her playing a small but important role. The sassy girl is also looking forward to Vinay Shukla's Mirch, which is an ensemble film.
