You can do it using list comprehensions:

common = [x for x in iter_actor1 if x in iter_actor2]

or using sets:

common = set(iter_actor1).intersection(iter_actor2)

interActor=['Rishi Kapoor','kalkidan','Aishwarya']
interActor1=['Aishwarya','Suman Ranganathan','Rishi Kapoor']
anotherlist = []

for x in interActor:
    if x in interActor1:
        anotherlist.append(x)
