Some of the most talented and emerging box office biggies have been brought together courtesy Rajeev Masand. Actors Ranveer Singh, Pankaj Tripathi, Ayushmann Khurrana, Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao were chilling together with journalist Rajeev Masand for his yearly Actors' Roundtable session for 2018.

On the same, Masand posted the picture on Instagram and captioned it, "First glimpse of The Actors Roundtable 2018. The five actors who delivered some of the best performances of the year: Pankaj Tripathi (#Stree), Ayushmann Khurrana (#Andhadhun #BadhaaiHo), Ranveer Singh (#Padmaavat), Vicky Kaushal (#Sanju #Manmarziyaan), and Rajkummar Rao (#Stree #Omerta). The episode airs this weekend on @cnnnews18. #pankajtripathi #ayushmannkhurrana #ranveersingh #vickykaushal #rajkummarrao #actors #roundtable #interview #bollywood"

From the looks of these young stars at the roundtable, it does seem very fair. All of them have had a good box office run with impeccable stories to star in. Singh owned the year with his performance in Padmaavat. Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana were unstoppable with the number of bold and interesting films that had to offer to the audience. Vicky Kaushal showed shades of performances that we can't imagine anyone else even try! And Pankaj Tripathi, need w even mention how entertaining he was as a brilliant supporting lead in various films that rolled out this year? The episode with these five in conversation is definitely going to be super interesting!

Earlier this month, Masand also held a director's roundtable episode with industry stalwarts like Shoojit Sircar, Meghna Gulzar, Sriram Raghavan, Nandita Das, Anubhav Sinha, Amit Sharma and Amar Kaushik. All the actors and directors chosen by Masand for his roundtable are folks who have given hatke films and characters which has stayed with us even after the films left the theatres!
