Teenage pregnancy, terrorism, an out-and-out actioner or a spooky jungle thriller-Bollywood newcomers like Shruthi Haasan, Ruslaan Mumtaaz and Arunoday Singh are opting for different themes and strong scripts rather than being lured by big banners and typical potboilers.Tamil star Kamal Haasan’s daughter Shruthi chose an unconventional debut in “Luck“, a hardcore action film.

Similar is the case with Arunoday Singh, grandson of Congress veteran Arjun Singh. Arunoday is making his entry into Bollywood with Piyush Jha’s “Sikandar” and he plays a militant. Set in Kashmir, the film is slated to hit screens on August 21.
If the story and the script of a film are interesting-that’s all that matters,” said Arunoday, who had been living abroad for nine years.He says doing a film like “Sikandar”, which has terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir as its backdrop, was not at all a deliberate effort to do something out of the box.
While Shruthi and Arunoday made a conscious choice of doing ’script-based’ roles, Ruslaan just happened to be roped in for “Teree Sang”, Satish Kaushik’s take on teenage pregnancy.
Another newcomer to make an unconventional entry is Gautam Rode. He plays a superstar in Ram Gopal Varma’s adventure thriller “Agyaat“, which again is not a regular Hindi potboiler. For Gautam, his choice of “Agyaat” was a mix of three things-a
“gripping story”, “different character” and the “way Ram Gopal Varma narrated it“.
