While Yash Raj Productions has always sworn by the experience of Shah Rukh, they too have, this time, taken to the trend. Their first release this year, Kabir Khan’s New York, will have the gorgeous Kaif and the promising Neil Nitin Mukesh (27) wooing the audiences. “It is not so much a trend as it is a natural progression. Every once in few years, a bunch of new actors emerge and this is one such phase in the industry,” says Khan, adding, “There are not too many A-listers in the industry. So it is a good thing that there are newer faces striving to get to that bracket.” Soon after the release of New York, Yash Raj has Ranbir romancing 20-year-old debutante Shazahn Padamsee in Rocket Singh: Salesman of the year and Parmeet Sethi’s untitled directorial venture will see Shahid with Anushka Sharma.

Well, looks like Bollywood is surely getting younger.
