The New Year 2011 has begun and like each year this year too, our film industry is sure to see a bunch of fresh, talented newcomers who would be making their debut.....
Monica Dogra
Probably one of the early debutants of this year, Monica is originally a singer-musician and is part of the rock band Shaair +Func. She is now all set to showcase her acting skills as she plays Shai in Kiran Rao's maiden directorial venture Dhobi Ghat. The film has been released just a few days ago and but Monica has already managed to stand out despite sharing screen space with none other than Aamir Khan. this girl would be seen more in front of the camera than crooning behind the mic.
Rana Dagubatti
Rana Daggubatti is South India's latest export to Bollywood and will be seen in Rohan Sippy's Dum Maaro Dum alongside Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu. Grandson of Telugu movie moghul Dr.D.Ramanaidu and son of producer D.Suresh Babu, Rana impressed one and all with his very first Telugu feature film - Leader. It will be interesting to watch if this tall and good looking youngster manages to make a name for himself in Bollywood in the days to come.
Nargis Fakhri
Every aspiring actress would die for an opportunity to debut opposite the nation's latest heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor. In that respect, Nargis Fakhri is indeed one lucky girl for she not only debuts opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar but also has the super-talented Imtiaz Ali directing her in the film. Even before the release of her debut film, Nargis has been in the news for her closeness to her co-star Ranbir. If some of her pics are anything to go by, expect a scorching hot summer this May when this bombshell sets the screen ablaze in Rockstar.
Varun Dhawan
Now this young bloke's debut is among the most looked forward to this year. After all, Varun is the younger son of director David Dhawan and is all set to make his debut in Dharma Productions and Red Chillies' co-production Student Of The Year. Varun could have been easily launched by his dad himself but seems like this kid has decided to make his own mark. Nevertheless, he simply couldn't have asked for a better launch-pad. After all, which newcomer can boast of being directed by Karan Johar in a project backed by Shah Rukh Khan.
Alia Bhatt
Mahesh Bhatt was there to launch his daughter Pooja Bhatt but this time around Bhatt Senior has entrusted the responsibility of launching his daughter Alia in the able hands of Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan. Daughter of Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, Alia is the female lead in Student Of The Year, a film which is set around a college campus. The last time KJo weaved a story around a college campus, he created history with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Alia, Varun, Siddharth and Co. will be hoping that history is recreated yet again with their maiden film too.

Malhotra (director of We Are Family) and Karan Malhotra (director of the forthcoming Agneepath remake). Now yet another actor is all set to join the Malhotra brigade at Dharma and he is none other than Siddharth Malhotra who would be seen in KJo's directorial venture Student Of The Year. After assisting his mentor on My Name Is Khan, this young lad from Delhi with no filmy connections whatsoever would be more than thrilled at the prospect being launched by KJo and SRK. While he indeed has the looks to be a star, it's his acting which will finally determine how far he would go in this highly competitive industry.

Since then there has been no looking back for Ileana who has featured in blockbusters down South such as Pokiri and Kick. She is also gearing up to play the role played by Kareena Kapoor in the Tamil and Telugu versions of 3 Idiots. This girl is indeed going places and how!
Narmada Ahuja
Last year, Shatrughan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi made a smashing debut with Dabangg and if all goes well, this year would see the debut of Govinda's daughter Narmada Ahuja.
