In Indian films, it’s not uncommon to see performers from various areas collaborating. But as more pan-Indian movies have been out in recent years, it has grown more typical to see Bollywood and South Indian performers together in films.

For example, Rashmika Mandanna and Ranbir Kapoor collaborate for the first time in the forthcoming movie Animal. Similar partnerships are being considered for a number of other projects that are anticipated to leave a lasting impact on the viewer. Let’s look at some of the most popular actor duos from Bollywood and South India that are slated to appear in films.

The best South-Bollywood couples to watch out for

1. Part 1 of Jr. NTR-Janhvi Kapoor in Devara

Jr. NTR and Janhvi Kapoor’s flick Devara Part 1 is going to light up the screens. The action drama film, which Koratala Siva is writing and directing, is scheduled to open in theaters on April 5, 2024.

Because of the Tamil and Telugu origins of her late mother Sridevi, Janhvi plays her first part in a South Indian cinema in this picture. Janhvi Kapoor, who plays Thangam in this movie, has revealed her first image from it. She looks good, fitting the movie’s style.Saif Ali Khan, who plays the film’s primary antagonist, makes his Telugu cinema debut in Devara.

2. Merry Christmas with Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi

Merry Christmas, which hits theaters on January 12th of the following year, is expected to star Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi together. Sriram Raghavan, the director of Andhadhun, is the director of the bilingual Tamil/Hindi movie, which was shot concurrently in both languages.

Filming on the movie, which started in December 2021, ended in January. Pritam, a well-known composer, provided the soundtrack. Based on previews, Merry Christmas seems to revolve on a murder case. It would be interesting to watch celebrities like Kaif and Sethupathi, who have rather different acting approaches, work together for the first time. Radhika Apte makes a brief appearance in the cast as well.

3. In Kanguva, Suriya and Disha Patani

Directed by Siruthai fame Siva, Kanguva is one of the most expensive projects in Tamil film history and stars Suriya alongside Bollywood actress Disha Patani.
