Chandan Roy Sanyal

Pretty much following the route that was laid out for Prateik Babbar when he made his quiet 'supporting actor' debut with 'Jaane Tu Ya... Jaane Naa', Chandan was hardly in the news until the release of 'Kaminey'. He was truly discovered when he played his part of Mikhail to perfection in the dark crime thriller.

Jaccky Bhagnani

Even though 'Kal Kissne Dekha' didn't work, Jackky did deliver. Quite confident in front of the camera, he neither overplays nor underplays his part. Though a better script would have helped, 'Kal Kissne Dekha' did act as a show reel for young Bhagnani.

Jacqueline Fernandes

Jacqueline's task was pretty much cut out in 'Aladin'. She had to look good and this is where her Miss Sri Lanka crown came in handy. Moreover, she was indeed good in the couple of scenes where she was required to mouth dialogues in addition to just smiling. Just like Katrina Kaif who started off her career with her good looks and fair acting capabilities, Jacquline too has a future in Bollywood.

Shruti Haasan

If there was one quintessential Bollywood material that arrived in 2009, it was Shruti Haasan. However, the really poor script of 'Luck' ruined the pretty girl's chances of starting off her Bollywood outing with a smash hit. She has the body, the looks and the attitude. All she needs now is another good opportunity on a decent enough platform.

Sheena Shahabadi

For Sheena, what worked most was the author-backed role that she got in 'Tere Sang'. Playing a 15-year-old who was looking at exploring life to the fullest, she was easily the star of the show and came up with a bravura act that made 'Tere Sang' believable.
