Yashraj ditch SRK for Ranbir?

The media is abuzz with news that Aditya Chopra of Yashraj Films has decided to move on from someone, who is responsible for two of their only major successes (Chak De India and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi) in the last couple of years.

According to sources, Aditya Chopra didn’t take it too lightly when Shahrukh Khan couldn’t allot him bulk dates for one of their upcoming romantic films and has decided to move on and sign Ranbir Kapoor for the same role. (Could it be the same Yash Chopra directed film that we reported earlier today?)

Is it the right time for Yashraj to move on from SRK? We think so, here’s why

  • Unlike industries from down south, Bollywood is an industry wherein over-aged heroes fade away quite quickly post 45.. the thinking behind this move could be the fact that SRK can no longer run around tress or play Rahul – Raj kinda roles. He is way too old for typical Yashraj romantic films.
  • One other reason is, SRK isn’t affordable any more – most of his films in recent times have been produced under his banner Red Chillies Entertainment. In movies produced by other banners, he prefers to take a major share from the profit. Wouldn’t it be quite wise for Yashraj to rather invest in someone younger? The likes of Ranbir, Shahid or even Hrithik Roshan?

Vinshal :
there is hell of diffrence bwteen SRK and aamir khan’s look at this time aamir still looks young like 25 – 28 yrs old and shah rukh looks like 40 + coz he is chain smoker , drug addicted , gay , and may be drunky ( i m not sure abt his drinking ) and if u think he is still good for rahul/ raj type roles then why his boy friend (karan johar) signed Ranbir kapoor for kuch kuch hota hai remake ????

yash chopra means king of romance the films made by yash ji they all are romantic and hits
what ever there amitab or shahruck or anil or rishi all films super doper hit
i am a big fan of shahrukh yash ji make films with srk the film is just a hit
write now srk is busy with other projects so thats why adi sign ranbir is upcoming hero or super star
yash ji takes next year in direction after veer zaara it would be srk or any other actor

vinshal n suzzuta:
listen i said that aamir looks 25-28 yrs old and u will see this on 30 oct when 3 idiots ’s promo will release aamir’s rang de basanti u can see he was looking like sharman or kunal kapoor . and for 3 idiots he realy changed his look u can see just after 1 week.
and abt SRK then every one knows abt it that he n karan johar has physical relation. u like him so that why u guys wont beleave it. but it is true .
and dont forget that after 5 yrs shahrukh aamir saifi, akki all will finish coz every one is already above 42 and then ranbir , shahid , emraan , harman , neil nitin , they will be ruler on bollywood .

 
sazzuta:  (October 24, 2009 at 5:40 pm)

@nauman: r u a kid…if not then plz dont try to kid/joke anymore…it is bcoz….this is bollywood….everyone is after the stars….so today,karan and shah rukh is at the top ..that’s why every body is creating rumours like that..well that’s i am taking negetive…it is just like……abhishek has told in guru…..AGAR KOI TUMHE GALI DERAHA HAI..TO SAMAJHNA CHAHIYE KI TUM TARKKI KARRAHEHO….so fren try to understand this line…

well these kind of rumour is so common in bollywood…after all he is the king,,,king khan…..

probably u r fan of aamir…so u lookin him as a 25yrs boy…going to college at this older age…never mind… but we must solute dir. for his darin for this stupid and maddness…after all this is 3-idiot..no need any words

To all those keen on Aamir’s role as a College student, here’s what Rajkumar Hirani the director said

3 Idiots is about students, but it is in two time spans. One is while they are students, and one phase is after they have passed out of college. My requirement was four capable actors, because the roles are not just black or white, they are complex roles. They have shades of grey to them. I auditioned people across the globe. Finally, I found one guy in Los Angeles for one of the roles. Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan are also there. Believe me, now that the film is complete I can tell you there is no one as good as Aamir. Age is the least of the issues as far as the film goes.

Bejul news isn’t confirmed. So lets wait and watch.

And why the word ‘hate’? It has to happen, if not now, sometime later.

 
Bejul:  (October 25, 2009 at 1:56 am)

indicine – when will you know?€

Pretty soon, Yash Chopra will announce his film next month.

Hi to all

i came to khow that yash raj is taking ranbir for his upcoming film. But they should think that SRK is SRK and ranbir cannot take his position in any case. Lucky ranbir that he got a chance to work in that film coz srk has no dates. But i think the film will be flop coz srk is not in the film. I think that Adi should wait for srk. No one can create romance like srk.
