Ranveer Singh

Ranveer Singh is inevitably the epitome of versatility. The actor has time and again portrayed characters belonging to diverse cultures and languages.

Paresh Rawal

The actor remains an inspiration for many in the Bollywood film industry. He has time and again delivered many iconic performances in the industry which has struck a positive chord with the fans.

He had mastered the South Indian accent for his popular South films like Kshaha Kshanam, Rikshavodu and Shankar Dada MBBS. 

Priyanka Chopra 

Priyanka is known for getting into the skin of the character with each of her roles. The actor is extremely versatile and has also portrayed 12 different characters in films like What's Your Rashee. But she is also known for picking up regional accents in an affluent manner for her roles. She essayed the Maharashtrian character of Kashi Bai in the film Bajirao Mastani as if it was a child's play. 

Kriti Sanon

Kriti Sanon is fast emerging as one of the most popular gen-next celebs. She is also experimenting with her characters in her films.
