The top5 male actors in Hindi Film Industry are - Aamir, Shahrukh, Salman, Hrithik and Akshay. I know everyone have their favs, and also different orders. But these are the main big stars, with a massive fan following. All of them are coming next year with films that everyone are looking forward to.

Has it happened before ever, when each of them had 1 film in a year at same time ? Also, if at all it happened(I cant recall though), then were those films as big as this time they are. Let me write down the list first.

Aamir Khan 
• 'Untitled film', directed by Reema Kagti, starring Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor. Music by Ram Sampath(Delhi Belly fame)
• 'Dhoom3', directed by Vishal Krishna Acharya, starring Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra. Music by Pritam

Shahrukh Khan
• 'Untitled film', directed by Yash Chopra, starring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. Music by AR Rahman

Salman Khan
• 'Ek tha Tiger', directed by Kabir Khan, starring Katrina Kaif, Ranvir Shorey. Music by Sohail Sen

Hrithik Roshan
• 'Agneepath', directed by Karan Malhotra, starring Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra, Rishi Kapoor. Music by Ajay-Atul.

Akshay Kumar 
• 'Once upon a time in Mumbaai2', directed by Milan Luthria, starring Kareena Kapoor and Shahid/Imran(no one finalled yet).
• 'Rowdy Rathore', directed by Prabhu Deva, starring Sonakshi Sinha.


You expect a thriller with Aamir back in cop uniform in reema's film with two big actresses alongside. And then the much talked about dhoom3, how would a actor like aamir portray the famous run-chase series.

Yash Chopra returns to direction with Shahrukh as lead, Rahman's music, Gulzar's lyrics.. Did you wanted anything else? Dont be greedy!

Salman in a yashraj film, back with Katrina Kaif. A pair that is yet to set the stage on fire. Kabir Khan has impressed in the past with his work. And then, talks are that film is inspired from Bourne Series, means some new action, fast action to be precise. Dont we love Salman doing action roles! And mind you, with Kabir Khan as director, one can assume it wont be another bodyguard tragic.  Music by Sohail Sen(pritam gave up because of too much work load), will also be much to look forward to with Whats ur rashee and Mere Brother ki Dulhan, two great soundtracks in a row.

'Naam vijay dinnanath chauhan', the first trailer created immense buzz. And we are craving for so much more.. The battle between Vijay Dinnanath Chauhan and Kaancha Cheena resumes after nearly 20 years  gap. Will the makers live upto their promises that this film has just the same soul with different treatment and dialogues. If yes, then we are in for a very good film, who doesn't like to see REVENGE films, I specially do. With Madhvi's role stretched in this version of agneepath, Priyanka Chopra gets a lot to offer too. And Rishi Kapoor's negative track. The aarti used in the trailer was impressive, so Ajay-Atul may have a winner in music too(Singham their last film).

Akshay Kumar, we are tired of all silly comedies, and he isnt getting success either in them. So, he returns in two action films, sequel to Once upon a time in Mumbaai2 by Milan Luthria, the role is tailor made for him and hence the expectations rises. Then, Rowdy Rathore has Prabhu Deva with his 2nd film after Wanted, we may finally see the return of Khiladi with this film(Tashan had few glimpses).

Phew, that is so much to look forward to. And if all this isnt enough.. Then, there is Shanghai, Barfee, Jannat2, Bol Bacchan, Raaz3 also lined up in 2012, where Actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi, Abhay Deol, Abhishek Bachchan are gonna give fight to these top5.

Also, its a big year for Katrina Kaif, who is paired against Shahrukh, Salman and Aamir, each of them in yashraj starrers.

One thing is for sure, the eyes are on how well these 5 actors compete in 2012. Whoever wins the battle at Box Office, here's wishing that the quality of these films lives upto the hype and expectations that will build as the release comes near of each of the mentioned films....

Yash~
