As the year 2022 nears its end, filmmakers across Bollywood are also revamping their onscreen castings to bring new and fresh pairs to the audience for 2023.

Bollywood films are known for several things: their storylines, song-and-dance sequences and of course, the on-screen pairings of actors. Be it Raj Kapoor and Nargis, who were iconic throughout the 50s, or SRK and Kajol, whose chemistry dominated the 90s, the lead pair these films have always been one of the major USPs of films at the Indian box office.

The upcoming year has a number of films lined up which would have on-screen pairings never seen before. Let us take a look at some of them.
