Force (2011): Genelia starred opposite John Abraham in this action-packed romantic drama. The film did well both commercially and critically, but the standout factor? It was the stunning chemistry between the lead pair. Her performance added emotional depth to an otherwise high-octane action narrative. Sitaare Zameen Par (2025): Sitaare Zameen Par, which was released earlier this year, marked a refreshing comeback for Genelia. Starring alongside Aamir Khan, the film resonated well with audiences and had a strong run at the box office. Here's Wishing Genelia D'Souza A Very Happy Birthday!

It is absolutely incredible (that) he has every step inside him already,' he added. Hrithik also teased an exciting musical showdown in the film. 'Yeah, we have this song where, I would say it is kind of a dance-off. But yeah, working with him has been an extraordinary experience for me. It has taught me a lot of things that I will now incorporate in my life,' he said. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, 'War 2' serves as a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster 'War'.
