He is one superstar who can play any character; AAMIR defends RANBIR - Page 4

Why didnt Aamir told Ranbir not to do BV ... as he was proly the first to read and reject the script. Hrithik didnt have time to read it for 2 years.

This bending over backwards to defend Ranbir is seriously getting pathetic now. He's a big boy the industry needs to let him own the failure.

Yah, Ranbir excels in an unconventional role. tbh, I disliked him a lot and never found him all that appealing, but Barfi changed my opinion of him.

I would rather watch him take risks and do unconventional roles than opt for APKGK and YJHD (hated both). I do agree that he needs to have a better script sense like Aamir.

Supetstar🤣

Speaking for myself only, here are two reasons why Aamir's quote irritated me, and I say this as someone who's loved Aamir for years.

One, I'm not sure why Aamir felt the need to refer to him as a superstar here, assuming this is a direct quote. It sounds like he's taking a dig at the public or the far and few articles that did dare to question Ranbir's star power, or lack thereof. He could have made his point about Ranbir's talent without the superstar tag.

Second, his comment about writing with conviction felt like a dig at Anurag Kayshap. It felt like Aamir was putting the blame for BV's failure entirely on Anurag and absolving Ranbir of any responsibility, except for picking the wrong movie.

Let the boy walk by his own.. He's no more a baby

@Pallavi, yes the movie failing overall is the writer or makers' fault. But a superstar should have been able to open it a little better than 5cr, no? I never expected the movie to become a blockbuster or even a hit based on the first trailer alone. It just looked bad. But I don't think anyone expected it to open this badly. Not to make any excuses for Anurag because he failed big time, but we shouldn't make excuses for Ranbir either.

Here's another example. SRK is a superstar. HNY was a ridiculously written movie, and frankly so was Chennai Express. Both of them did well, with the later breaking records at the time. A superstar in my opinion still manages to bring audiences in despite bad reviews. Ranbir is no superstar.

isn't Ranbir going to be in the Peekay sequel.

maybe Aamir is promoting it already and hoping it doesn't flop.
