The past few years have seen the emergence of pan-Indian stars from regional industries and in 2023, they are all set to broaden their reach with eagerly awaited releases. The definition of regional cinema has blurred a lot, and nowadays every cinema star is working in all film industries across India. This has given rise to pan-India stars who바카라™re loved equally across the nation.

Here are some actors from regional cinema industries who are expected to set the box-office ablaze this year:

Hindi film audiences were first introduced to Prithviraj Sukumaran through 'Aiyyaa' (2012) and he was subsequently seen in 'Aurangzeb (2013) and 'Naam Shabana' in 2017 but it is with the rising consumption of regional content that he became a household name. His company Prithviraj Productions has been spearheading hit films like '9' (2019) and his directorial debut 'Lucifer' (2019) became the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever and also won over the OTT audience. 바카라˜Jana Gana Mana바카라™ in 2022 became another big success but it was with 'Kaapa', a crime drama, that he truly became a pan-Indian force. In 2023, he will be seen in the Telugu action-thriller 바카라˜Salaar바카라™ opposite Prabhas and also in a mainstream Hindi film 바카라˜Bade Miya Chote Miya바카라™ with Akshay Kumar. He is also one of the producers for Akshay Kumar-Emraan Hashmi starrer 바카라˜Selfiee바카라™.

When the Malayalam procedural 'Kuttavum Shikshayum' became a hit on a streaming platform in 2021, audiences all over the country sat up to take notice of this subtle yet powerful actor. Since his well-received debut in 2009, 바카라˜Ritu바카라™, Asif has walked the fine line between commercial hits and critically acclaimed cinema like the 2012 period drama, 바카라˜Ozhimuri바카라™. 2022 was a fecund year for him with films like 바카라˜Rorschach바카라™, 바카라˜Kooman바카라™, 바카라˜Kotthu바카라™, and the superhit 바카라˜Kaapa바카라™. In 2023, fans are awaiting the release of his film 'Kasargold', which promises to be another simmering crime caper.

2021 saw the ascent of Telugu superstar Allu Arjun on the national stage when 바카라˜Pushpa 바카라“ The Rise바카라™ broke records and emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of the year. It also became among the highest-grossing Telugu films of all time. With his trajectory, he has decisively emerged from the shadows of his producer father, Allu Aravind and his uncle, superstar Chiranjeevi. This year, he will be seen in the eagerly awaited sequel, 바카라˜Pushpa 바카라“ The Rule,' where he will star opposite Rashmika Mandanna again.

In 2021, when Samantha Ruth Prabhu starred in the second season of Amazon Prime Video's Hindi spy thriller 'The Family Man', as the fiery antagonist Raji, a rebel leader from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, India sat up and took notice. With regional hits like her debut 바카라˜Ye Maaya Chesave바카라™, 바카라˜Eega바카라™, 바카라˜Kaththi바카라™, 바카라˜Dookudu바카라™, 바카라˜Mersal바카라™, 바카라˜Majili바카라™, and the critically acclaimed, 바카라˜Super Deluxe바카라™, Samantha is now a nationally recognised talent whose cameo in 바카라˜Pushpa 바카라“ The Rise바카라™ sent the audiences in a frenzy. This year, she will headline the lavish, period drama, 바카라˜Shaakuntalam' in the title role.

Her first few Hindi films (바카라˜Chand Sa Roshan Chehra' and 'Himmatwala') may not have worked but with the 바카라˜Baahubali바카라™ franchise, Tamannaah became a star to watch out for. Her martial art skills, screen presence and undeniable talent made her stand out even in these two largely testosterone driven blockbusters dominated by Prabhas and Rana Daggubati. After working extensively and successfully in the regional space with superstars like Suriya (바카라˜Ayan바카라™), Ajith Kumar (바카라˜Veeram바카라™), and Vikram (바카라˜Sketch바카라™), she is now all set to welcome 2023 with 바카라˜Bhola Shankar바카라™, a remake of the Tamil movie, 바카라˜Vedalam바카라™, with Chiranjeevi and Keerthi Suresh.
