Adil Hussain

Hussain is a humble man, who is fitting for an actor who began his career on the tiny stages of a small town in his home Assam in Northeast India then "crossed universes" to get a sought-after role in Star Trek. He plays down his popularity and takes pride in his modest upbringing

Vineet Kumar Singh has consistently outdone himself as an actor and has proven his talent with each movie or television show. He consistently chooses unusual subjects that are incredibly pertinent to our day, and he excels in the position. Vineet's brilliance is undoubtedly underappreciated, and his fantastic acting in Rangbaaz – Darr Ki Rajneeti was till date one of his finest

Vijay Maurya is a sharp actor, but we feel that he is an undervalued actor.  From movies like 'Gully Boy' to 'Tumhari Sulu', his choice of performances is beyond excellence, and only does movies/shows with quality performances

Jaideep Ahlawat

Another actor that merits more exposure is Jaideep Ahlawat, who gained notoriety for his outstanding performance as Inspector Haathi Ram Chaudhary in Paatalok. Ahlawat was recently seen in The Broken News on ZEE5 and is one of the most intelligent actors in the entertainment business, and he gets into feels the character he plays. We can’t wait to see him more and more. Jaideep is one of the actors who we’re always rooting to see on screen

Gulshan Devaiah is yet another exceptional actor who has proved his skill with films like 'Shaitaan', 'Hate Story', 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota' among others. His film Footfairy, where he plays a CBI officer got a new life on Netflix. He is currently looking forward to the series 'Duranga'
