In November, the 70mm screen will go dhak dhak in delight, when she of the thousand-flashbulb-smile and quicksilver feet dances back into Bollywood with Aaja Nachle.

But as you wait to soak in some Madhuri magic, you wonder: where is the next generation of young stars to traipse in her footsteps? Where is the cockiness of a Kareena, the earthiness of a Rani and the spunk of a Preity? In November (and by early next year), a quartet of beauties—Deepika Padukone (Om Shanti Om), Sonam Kapoor (Saawariya), Asin Thottumkal (Ghajini) and Ferena Wazier (Rang Rasiya)—might just give you your answer.

Asin is the southern spice in this new pack. A mega-star in her own right in the south, she will star opposite Aamir Khan in the Hindi remake of her Tamil super hit Ghajini (2005).

Ferena is a Ketan Mehta find. The Kashmir-born actress will star in his period piece on the life and times of Raja Ravi Verma, Rang Rasiya. But ahead in this race are Deepika Padukone, supermodel and daughter of badminton legend Prakash Padukone, who debuts opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om, and Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Anil Kapoor and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s fiercely-guarded secret. The industry already counts them among the arrived.
