It started with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was probably one of the first television actors to break the mold and make a space for himself in the Bollywood industry, and now, following his lead are several others who are finally ascending to the silver screen.

One would think that the transition from small screen to the silver screen wouldn’t be all that difficult, after all, they’re all actors at the end of the day. But you’d be wrong. 

A lot of struggle, proving your mettle and luck goes into entering the B-town, and with this new wave of OTT platforms and cinema, here is a list of all the TV actors who are set to make their Bollywood debuts .

And now, years laters, the actor will be seen in the film Gangubai as Ramnik Lal.
