Dreams do come true, as Deepika Padukone realised when she announced her first-time pairing with Hrithik Roshan for their new film Fighter, to be directed by Bang Bang Director Siddharth Anand.

The film is slated for a September 2022 release.

Think Dips makes a hot pair with Hrithik? Do vote!

The year, in fact, will see quite a few fresh pairings coming up.

Subhash K Jha looks at the most prominent pairings coming up on our screens.

Trust Aanand L Rai to do the thinkable.

In Atrangi Re, not only has he cast Akshay, who will be 54 this year, with Sara, who turns 26 in 2021, but also brought Dhanush on board.

Sara plays a woman from Bihar who shares an unusual bonding with Akshay and Dhanush.

Tiger Shroff-Tara Sutaria

Tara was a strong contender for the heroine's part in 2014's Heropanti , but Kriti Sanon beat her to it.

She will get together with Tiger for the film's sequel.

Director Ahmed Khan says the chemistry between T&T will be something to watch out for.

Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt

The real life jodi get to spill their affection on screen, and that could be just what the audience needs.

On the other hand, real-life jodis often make for boring viewing as audiences are to used to seeing them together all the time.

Let's see what Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra has in store for us.

Akshay Kumar-Manushi Chillar

Former Miss World Manushi plays the mythical Sanjukta who gets whisked off from her swayamvar by Prithviraj Chauhan in Dr Chandra Prakash Dwivedi's Prithviraj.

The director tells me the pair (Manushi is 24 this May; Akshay 30 years older in September) looks heavenly on screen.

In recent years, Akshay has not found a steady co-star. The wait may end with this movie.

Salman Khan-Pooja Hegde

Pooja is a star in Telugu cinema and the Housefull 4 actress has been trying her luck in Bollywood, though her debut Mohenjo Daro was a box office dud.

Pairing up with Salman in Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali could be the best thing to happen to her career.

It will also give the audience a fresh co-star for Bhai to romance.
