Producer Dinesh Vijan is bringing in yet another new 'jodi' on screen after Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in Stree. 3. Akshay Kumar - Parineeti Chopra [Kesari] With the kind of volume of films that Akshay Kumar churns out, it is imperative that he works with a number of new leading ladies. In his first release of 2019, Kesari, he has Parineeti Chopra opposite him. One waits to see though the kind of screen time that they have together in this film which is mainly about a battle of 21 Sikhs against 10,000 Afghan soldiers. 4. Sonam Kapoor - Dulquer Salmaan [The Zoya Factor] This is going to be a unique pairing for sure, what with Dulquer Salmaan returning after Karwaan and finding Sonam Kapoor opposite him in The Zoya Factor.

Hrithik Roshan - Mrunal Thakur [Super 30] Though this one is not a quintessential romantic film per se, one waits to see how Mrunal Thakur gives company to Hrithik Roshan in Super 30.

Hrithik Roshan - Vaani Kapoor - Tiger Shroff [Sidharth Anand's next] Aditya Chopra is giving his find Vaani Kapoor yet another opportunity to excel with his yet untitled film that is being directed by Sidharth Anand.

Akshay Kumar - Kriti Sanon - Riteish Deshmukh - Kriti Kharbanda - Bobby Deol - Pooja Hegde [Housefull 4] It would be the case of many firsts in Sajid Nadiadwala's fourth installment of Housefull series, Housefull 4.
