SRK will co-star with Mahira Khan in Raees and Waluscha D'Souza in Fan
The year 2016 will see Bollywood superstars, from the three Khans - Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman to Hrithik Roshan and Ajay Devgn, pair opposite relatively younger and fresh faces onscreen.
Shah Rukh, who in the past has given a dream start to the career of actresses like Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone, will be seen opposite three newcomers in his upcoming films
Fan and
Raees.
Popular Pakistani actress Mahira Khan will be making her Bollywood debut opposite the 50-year-old actor in
Raees.
In Maneesh Sharma's
Fan, Shah Rukh will share screen space with newcomers Waluscha D'Souza and Shriya Pilgaonkar, daughter of Marathi actor Sachin.
Aamir will be seen opposite popular TV actress Sakshi Tanwar in biopic
Dangal. (Also Read:

Sakshi, who is best known for playing the role of Parvati in hit TV show,
Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, is playing the
Dhoom 3 actor's wife in the film.
Salman, too, will be seen with actress Anushka Sharma for the first time in Yash Raj Film's
Sultan.
Anushka previously worked with Shah Rukh and Aamir in
Jab Tak Hai Jaan and
PK respectively. Superstar Akshay Kumar, who has earlier featured onscreen with Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra, will be seen with actress Nimrat Kaur in
Airlift.
The film marks Nimrat's second full-fledged role after her breakthrough movie
The Lunchbox.
In filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker's next
Mohenjo Daro, Hrithik will share screen space with former beauty pageant contestant Pooja Hegde, who makes her Bollywood debut with the period drama. This will be the second time the
Bang Bang! star will be paired with a new face after his own debut
Kaho Na...Pyar Hai!, which also marked actress Ameesha Patel's entry in Bollywood.
Sayesha Saigal, grandniece of legendary actors Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu, will be seen with Ajay in his much-ambitious Diwali-release
Shivaay.
Another Khan to be seen with a new actress will be actor Irrfan Khan.
The
Talvar actor will be co-star with Iranian-French actress Golshifteh Farahani in Anup Singh's
The Song of Scorpions. Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor too, will share an unusual pairing in filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj's
Rangoon. The duo are paired opposite Kangana Ranaut in the movie. The film will mark the trio's first onscreen outing.
