These are the stars and the superstars who are keeping the Box Office ringing when it comes to Bollywood films.
Here is presenting the 11 actresses who have maximum number of films on their plate:
Alia Bhatt [Brahmastra, Sadak 2, RRR, Inshallah, Takht]
She could well have consolidated her claim as the numero uno actress had it not been for the debacle of Kalank. Nonetheless, Alia Bhatt is now looking ahead with as many as four major releases in 2019. Though Brahmastra [sci-fi drama] has been moved ahead, Sadak 2 [romantic drama] is on social. She also has an interesting role to play in RRR [drama] though all eyes would be on her romantic drama [Inshallah]. She would also be beginning the shoot of Karan Johar’s epic historical drama Takht.
Katrina Kaif [Bharat, Sooryavanshi]
Last year she was seen opposite Aamir Khan [Thugs of Hindostan] and Shah Rukh Khan [Zero] but unfortunately the films didn’t work. Turnaround has been seen though with Bharat emerging as a success and Sooryavanshi set to be a major biggie of 2020. With Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar as her co-stars in these two films, Katrina Kaif is indeed striking big.
