‘Ranbir Is Not Like Salman Who Is Doing Same Thing Film After Film’: Anurag Basu

Anurag Basu, who has given blockbuster hit with Ranbir Kapoor starrer Barfi!, has recently said that he is ready to risk with the Rockstar actor rather than doing “boring” films with Salman Khan. Basu has been quoted as saying, “I am glad there is an actor like Ranbir who is taking the risk. There are not many actors, who would do it. He is not like Salman who is doing same thing film after film. He is boring. How can you do that? At least he is experimenting with his craft, he is pushing the envelope, and he is taking the risks”.

Talking about the past box office failures of Ranbir, namely Roy, Besharam and Bombay Velvet, the director said, “It is not paying off but at least he is getting the satisfaction of doing those films. He is playing different characters, they are so different form each other. Very few actors do that”.

“In India people blame actors for the failure of a film. But it is not up to them, it is the director. But still people blamed Ranbir”, he added.
