Sharman Joshi is one 'cool' dude who tries his hand at a variety of roles. And yes, he excels in them too!

Irrfan Khan's deep baritone and dialogue delivery put him miles ahead of the run-of-the mill actors. He has time and again proved his mettle in movies like 'Billu', 'Namesake', etc.

From an urban guy with commitment phobia to a village schoolmaster, Rahul Bose is one of those amazing actors in Bollywood who's known for his acting prowess.

He's an extremely talented director, actor, singer and producer! Yes, we are talking about none other than Farhan Akhtar. His movies 'Rock On', 'Luck By Chance' and 'Karthik Calling Karthik' are highly appreciated ones.

Sauve, uber-cool, and experimental -- that's how Abhay's image comes across among his fans. Deol has delivered some of the best performances in the past, especially in 'Dev D'.
