After a significant break from the screen, these actors are now gearing up to return to the spotlight
Govinda
The chocolate boy’s return has been a slow quiet one, after he stepped away just as quietly from Bollywood in 2015. After a decade away from acting, Imran made his onscreen reappearance through a cameo in uncle Aamir Khan and Vir Das’ Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos this year. But the official comeback is the upcoming Adhure Hum Adhure Tum, a Netflix romantic dramedy directed by Break Ke Baad’s Danish Aslam, co-starring Bhumi Pednekar. Imran, who is also co-producing, described the set as “the happiest I’ve ever been on”
Preity Zinta
Preity Zinta is making a comeback with not one but two exciting projects. The actor returns to the big screen with Batwara 1947, originally titled Lahore 1947, on August 14 alongside Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi and Ali Fazal. The film has been produced by Aamir Khan. She has also been announced as part of Kunal Kemmu’s directorial Vibe, a comedy drama on OTT. Her last theatrical lead was Bhaiaji Superhit in 2018
Celina Jaitly
The actor has spent recent years fighting a child custody battle and campaigning for the return of her brother, retired Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, from UAE custody. In July 2026 she announced she is returning to the big screen after 15 years with Sister Nibedita, a biopic on the Irish-born disciple of Swami Vivekananda, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee. “I had to walk through my own fire to arrive at this moment,” she wrote on Instagram
