Bollywood has seen comebacks that are often greeted with excitement, nostalgia, and anticipation. One such comeback that has taken the industry by storm is Karisma Kapoor's return in the much-talked-about film, 'Murder Mubarak.' The actress, who has been an integral part of the industry, took a hiatus from acting, making her return a highly anticipated event for her fans. As we celebrate Karisma's triumphant return, let's take a look at the top 10 celebrities who made a grand comeback and left an indelible mark on the silver screen.
'Gadar 2' brought back Sunny Deol's enormous popularity more than two decades later. Sunny played Tara Singh again in the picture, a part he first played in the classic film "Gadar" (2001). "Gadar 2" became one of the films to enter the core club the quickest after "Pathaan." Anil Sharma produced and directed the movie. Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma played the same characters from the first movie.
Bobby Deol has a long history of success and was known for his blockbusters. However, he eventually had a stagnant career and was no longer cast in films. He was not seen on the silver screen for over five years at one point. Even worse, his films, which were released much after his break, like Players and Thank You, were box office failures. Well, just when you thought Bobby's career might have ended, his career turned around. A few years ago, he surely made a grand comeback after a string of setbacks. The former chocolate boy turned love hero has revealed his darker side after making a comeback. In Love Hostel, Aashram, and most recently, Animal, he had an almost terrifying air. Indeed, Bobby has shown with “Animal” that he is capable of greatness when given the right job.
Sushmita Sen's acting career had a gap of eight years. In 2020, the actress returned with the OTT series Aarya. In 2024, Sushmita Sen will have worked in the motion picture business for thirty years. Her transformation from Miss Universe to a Bollywood actor has been an incredible one. The actress opted to take a sabbatical from acting once, while she was actively working on films. With the premiere of her debut OTT series, Aarya, on Disney+ Hotstar, Sushmita made a spectacular return. Another of her latest projects, “Taali”, has also kept us entangled with her acting and presence on screen just when we saw her star in the movie.
With R Balki's Ghoomer, Abhishek Bachchan is making his big-screen comeback after a five-year hiatus. Following the release of Manmarziyaan in theatres in 2018, he made waves on the internet with Ludo, The Big Bull, Bob Biswas, Dasvi, and Breathe. As a 90s kid, we don't remember praising him for his acting during those movies, do we? But now as he made is comeback with hits like "Ludo", "Manmarziyaan", "Breathe", we can't help but praise the Bachchan boy for the entertainment on screen.
In the 1990s, Raveena Tandon represented the ideal heroine girl, instead being known as an actor. Even now, her item numbers "Tip Tip Barsa Pani" and "Tu cheez badi hai mast mast" are still more well-known than the parts she played. But that's all changed, with her grand comeback. Her performance in Aranyak, her OTT debut, has garnered her several awards and commendations. She's proving to the public that she's more than just an extra glamorous part; she can also be a solid actress. Her admirers like her in this new look and are clamouring for more.
