Here's the lowdown on Bollywood's top actresses' upcoming projects this year.
The next couple of months will not see a big release, thanks to the ongoing examinations and the upcoming IPL season.
But that doesn't mean Bollywood's biggest stars are not at work.
While the actors are busy working on these films, here's looking at the films the actresses will be busy with.
Sonakshi Sinha
Films: Holiday, Action Jackson, Tevar
Sonakshi SInha is one of the busiest actresses in Bollywood.
Last year, she was seen in four films -- Lootera, Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai Dobara, R... Rajkumar and Bullett Raja -- and this year, the 27-year-old actress will have three releases.
Holiday and Action Jackson are set to hit screens this summer.
Her third film Tevar, in which she is cast opposite Arjun Kapoor for the first time, will hit the marquee later in the year.

Kareena Kapoor

Film: Singham 2
If Shuddhi and Bombay Samurai weren't shelved, 2014 would have been an action-packed year for Kareena Kapoor.
Given that she isn't exactly known for laying low, one can expect a major announcement or two very soon.
Meanwhile, she is all set to be seen in one of the most awaited films of the year -- Singham 2 -- which reunites her with Rohit Shetty after Golmaal 2 and 3.
Katrina Kaif

Films: Bang Bang, Phantom, Jagga Jasoos
Like Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif has weathered shelved projects for no fault of hers.
After Dhoom 3 was postponed by several months, her new film Bang Bang is facing delays due to costar Hrithik Roshan's health and personal problems.
Nevertheless, she is expected to bounce back in a big way with Phantom, co-starring Saif Ali Khan, and Jagga Jasoos, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor.
Sonam Kapoor

Finally attracting some big banner attention, she will first be seen in Yash Raj's Bewakoofiyan.
While she has completed work on her home production Khoobsurat, there is Arbaaz Khan's Dolly Ki Doli that features her in a central role.
Meanwhile, there are rumours of her being roped in for Salman Khan's next with Sooraj Barjatya and Shah Rukh Khan's Raees.
Anushka Sharma

Anushka has been lying low for a while now but will soon be seen in some exciting projects in the months to come.
