Producer Shailendra Singh (54) With over 70 films to his credit, Shailendra Singh produced films at a time when investing money into a film was risky business. But if anyone loves a risk, it’s him. Singh is all set to Captain a squad of 16 cricketers for India’s first take at the Over 50s Cricket World Cup this year. With a background in county and club cricket, Singh has always had the passion for the game. As former MD of Percept though, he made a mark in the business of entertainment, branding and music. After notching in his belt feats like incepting Sunburn, Guestlist4Good for thousands of underprivileged children, a nationwide rally of 15 cities, and over 24 start-ups, Singh is now set to conquer the sports world with his Captaincy.

Salman Khan (54) If there is anyone in the Bollywood industry who can mobilise the country with a signature move or line, it is Salman Khan. “Bhaijaan” ruled the box office in 2019 with Bharat and Dabangg 3. After recently ringing in his 54th birthday with a bang, 2020 will see the actor in his next Eid release Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, directed by Prabhu Deva. In the meantime, he is hosting Bigg Boss at primetime, a show synonymous with him and the dynamic he brings to it. There is no stopping this actor who can still floor audiences with his quiet charm and effortless charisma, and we can only wish for that chiseled physique at 54!

Director Vishal Bhardwaj (54) Vishal Bhardwaj is popular for edgy content that still hits the mark at the box office. He has participated in a number of political dialogues, whether directly through his social media or via his hard-hitting films. Whether it was Haider with Shahid Kapoor and Tabu in conflict-driven Kashmir or 7 Khoon Maaf with Priyanka Chopra, a strong commentary on women and marriage in society, his films judiciously make sharp comments on societal issues. Not stopping at direction, Bhardwaj has dabbled in music, writing, and production as well. It’s not a wonder that he is popular on many wish lists for the newer generation of actors.

She continues to helm exciting projects, one of which is a remake of Satte pe Satta with Rohit Shetty. The mother of three has set the bar high for female directors in Bollywood.
