Here are actors who made their debut in regional films this year:

Salman Khan – Godfather

This was one of the most anticipated films of the year. The audiences were ecstatic as they got to see two legends Megastar Chiranjeevi and Superstar Salman Khan on screen. Even though it was his first South Indian Film the superstar definitely impressed us with his skilful and dashing action sequences.

Rashmika Mandanna – Goodbye

The Pushpa actress Rashmika Mandanna made her Hindi Film Debut with the movie Goodbye starring alongside none other than Amitabh Bachchan. She thoroughly impressed us with her amazing performance as Tara since most of the conflict in the movie is around her character. We can’t wait to see more of her in Hindi films.

Adivi Sesh – Major

Talking about regional debut we can definitely not go without mentioning Adivi Sesh in the film Major. One of the highest-grossing pan-India films was shot and released simultaneously in both Telugu languages throughout the country. Adivi Sesh’s performance too was highly acclaimed and revered by audiences all over.

Vijay Deverakonda – Liger

We were thoroughly impressed by Vijay Deverakonda’s performance in his Hindi language film, Liger. The way he portrays the brave-hearted character of Sashwath Agarwal aka Liger in this movie really impressed most audiences. It was surely a treat to watch him and Ananya Pandey share the screen.

Naga Chaitanya – Laal Singh Chadha

Although he’s a big name in the South film industry, Laal Singh Chaddha marks Naga Chaitanya’s Bollywood debut. His character Balaraju Bodi and Aamir Khan’s bond in the film was definitely something worth watching. We are really curious to know if the actor has other Bollywood projects lined up in the upcoming year.

Shalini Pandey – Jayeshbhai Jordaar

Debutante Shalini Pandey as Mudra was extremely impressive in the film Jayeshbhai Jordaar. The strong yet nervous character she plays makes gives the character to life. Be it emotional scenes or humorous ones,  she did not fail to amaze me throughout the film.
