Shahid, Imran and John take on Salman

[1]

If July saw hits rain down from the sky, September could be even bigger and better for Bollywood. And even more hearteningly, it’s the youngsters who will take charge of the film industry next month. Shahid Kapoor, Imran Khan and John Abraham, three Gen-Next stars, all have major releases lined up in September.
“This is the most crucial period for the film industry, since all three are at the crossroads of their respective careers. Shahid can claim a spot among the top rung actors if he manages another hit with Mausam, while Imran is currently hot after Delhi Belly and will look to consolidate with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. John Abraham, meanwhile, is the most anxious of all; after Jhoota Hi Sahi tanked, he needs Force to do good so that he can reclaim his New York and Dostana positioning,” a trade pundit says.
The best part about it, though, will be in pitting them against the might of Salman Khan. “Salman’s Bodyguard releases on September 2. It will remain a solid threat for all films which release through the month,” the pundit adds.
All of which makes one rue Ranbir Kapoor cancelling plans of releasing his Rockstar in September. That would have been some battle royale!
