KSG to Barun Sobti: Will these actors taste success in Bollywood?

In an interview with Pinkvilla.com, Gurmeet Choudhary, who is making his Bollywood debut with Khamoshiyan, said that there has been a time when he had become the highest paid TV actor of all time. Further in the interview, he stated that he could have stayed in his comfort zone, making crores with serials, but he always wanted to act in films. Therefore he treasures this opportunity to act in Vishesh Films' production Khamoshiyan. Elaborating on his TV career, Gurmeet said to Pinkvilla.com that he started his career with roles where he had to deliver just one line. He took up any work that came his way, and used to be paid 300-400 rupees a day, the report stated.

Like Gurmeet, several other TV actors are making their foray in Bollywood. Let's take a look at the actors who are ready to make the shift.

Karan Singh Grover: KSG has been in the limelight of late, both for his personal life and also for his Bollywood debut, Alone. The trailer of the film had created ripples online. Praises poured in for Bipasha but not many B-town celebs mentioned KSG in their praises and looks like he would still have to prove his acting prowess. With his killer looks and a body to die for, Karan can give any newcomer, tough competition. He was adored on the small screen and time will tell if the same adulation will translate on the big screen.

KSG to Barun Sobti: Will these actors taste success in Bollywood?

Barun Sobti: Barun has created mass hysteria with the show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? where he played a character called Arnav Singh Raizada. He catapulted to fame overnight and became a household name. In fact, when the show went off air in 2012, his fans went ballistic, demanding the show be brought back. Like other fellow actors from the TV industry, Barun too decided to venture into Bollywood but his debut, Main Aur Mr. Riight, proved to be a dud at the box-office. However, his performance was highly appreciated. According to a report on Pinkvilla.com, the actor has been signed on by John Abraham for Satra Ko Shaadi Hai. Talking about working on the project, Barun elaborated, "It was really nice shooting with him. Uncomfortable, Not at all! He doesn't look like the kinds who’ll make you feel uncomfortable." [sic] Hopefully, this venture will hit the right note with audiences.
