MUMBAI: Television's lover boy Priyank Sharma became an instant hit with the masses, especially the girls, with his chocolate boy looks and flamboyant style. His popularity only grew after he appeared on reality show Bigg Boss last season, which opened doors of opportunities for the Delhi boy.

Priyank did his second music single with the Kakkar siblings and will now be seen in Puncch Beat, a coming-of-age college campus drama. Television czarina Ekta Kapoor released a photo of the cast with Priyank flaunting his chiseled bare back.

At a city event, Priyank couldn't stop gushing over a comment by Ekta. A source adds, ‘During the launch, Ekta Kapoor was present & made a sweet remark on Priyank complimenting his acting but moreover talking about his abs referring him as the next superstar.’

Sameer Soni further added, ‘Ranbir, Ranveer watch out, he's your competition.’

Does this mean that the doors of Bollywood are already opening for this new kid on the block?
