Though the actor had a supporting role in 'Sanju' and a small role in 'Raazi' made the role his own and walked out with equal praises as the lead star Ranbir Kapoor. His performance in 'Manmarziyaan' added to the film's reviews. He is now been touted to be the next big thing as he has a big budget Karan Johar film 'Takht' in his kitty, among others.
 
Sohum Shah had already gotten a National Award for the first film as a producer 'Ship of Theseus' and this year he received his acknowledgment as an actor too. He played a supporting role with Irrfan Khan in 'Talvar' and opposite Kangana Ranaut in 'Simran'. While he received praise for most of his performances, 'Tumbbad' turned out to be his true blue breakthrough. 
 
Ayushmann Khurana had two blockbusters this year 'Andhadhun' and 'Badhaai Ho' releasing back to back in a month. Both the films have impressed the audiences and also were commercially hit. 
 
2018 has turned out to be a great year for Ayushmann.Rajkummar Rao has been doing great films and 2018 has been a great year for him. Rajkummar got his first Rs 100 crore film with 'Stree' where the actor was seen opposite Shraddha Kapoor.(UNI)
