Filmmaker Anurag Basu, who has directed films like ‘Barfi’, ‘Life In A Metro’ and ‘Gangster’, has said that he prefers to work with actors like Ranbir Kapoor because he is willing to take risks.
The director went on to add that there are not many actors like Ranbir, who unlike Salman Khan, doesn’t repeat himself by doing the same kind of films.
“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 (Ranbir) is experimenting with his craft, he is pushing the envelope, and he is taking the risks” Basu said.
While Ranbir’s films like ‘Bombay Velvet’, ‘Roy’ and ‘Besharam’ have failed at the box office, Basu said it’s better to get creative satisfaction by doing varied roles.
“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.
That’s totally true ! Aamir and SRK can act, but Salman is the worst actor ever !!
@sss
i think you always live in paglapur……… i think before your birth salman visit your home lol thats why u r so jealous of him hahahaha
and i think u r the only intelligent here who klnow which films are good which are bad, who is gr8 actor n who is bad…
dont u kn ur hakla did a movie where he was enjoying deepa aunty ……as u said harshali make bb blockbuster then what about chennai where ur king was hiding face behind the deepu didi lol
jab tak hey jaan………everyone was saying ki king me aur kab tak hey jaan rofl….

and yes u love ur hakla coj u love ur family and u and ur mother sister sits with u and watch your kings famous dialogue condom condom and madar….chod na yaar and u feel proud…..
u r such a looser and will remain coj u only visit indicine to take attens with salman name……
Hahahhahaha what a joke he has made.
Indicine please clear me is he really a director because as of his these world one cannot believe that he is really a director. He is not even knowing the role of a actor.
Dear basu,it is better to entertain yourself in theatres with movies like bajrangi bhaijaan,prdp than getting tortured yourself with movies like bombay velvet,toy ete.
Salman is making movies to entertain us not to turture us.
And for ur kind information salman has played differnt roles in his last three films,kick was action,bajrangi bhaijaan a beautifull india-pakistan tale and he played common man init and in prdp which is a family drama and which no other stars have guts to do in todays times he played a king.
Salman Fan: who is Anurag Basu just remember Barfi LT>>>JAI HO Too much fun
helllu…..salman has 9 blockbuster movies consecutively…who else.ma big fat asss.. for anurag and his lil boy ranbir…sallu world….ruler of bollywood…king of record breaker..whooooo……………………
It’s common.. Hathi chalte waqt.. Kutte bhokte hai..
This shows how people are jealous of salman..
Salman is biggest entertainer in India…
I think Shahrukh is the most insecure actor he exists only for romantic movie s,he can’t give justice to other roles.
And the most experimental actor is Aamir khan.And Ajay Devgun but now he exists on comedy and sequel .akki is now taking risks so he is behind srk .
Look basu you really made me cry because of your these words.
Salman has done so much for this industry but some people like you are not happy with his work.it is the khan trio due to which bollywood is touching new heights otherwise there would have been no name of bollywood in world today.
Tell me who would have played chulbul panday better than Salman and he played many other difficult characters. And his next movie sultan in which he is playing wrestler can your ranbir play that,No he cant.
You all should respect khans because they are youe seniors and have done better than you in bollywood.
on anurag basu ,I Will say that
jab hathi chalta hain toh kutte bhukte hain.
and all salman blockbusters are of different genres unlyk Srk expect ce and ce is successful due to Rohit Shetty and Deepika most.
ha ha ha everyone knows Only Amir,salman,akshay,ajay can do all types of character unlyk Srk ,ranbir who only exists for romantic comedies ,when they tried other genres ,the result is known to all that hny,besharam,BV,Ra1,Don2,PAHELI
U r right mr basu.because ranbir has taken big risk to sing biggest disasters… Jagga fussssssss…….
acha mr basu what’s was bajrangi bhaijaan what was prem ratan dhan payo and whats is sultan three film different genre and u say it’s boring. check ur facts.at least Salman khan entertains audience
Mr Basu forget about Ranbir risk. U have taken biggest risk to sing Ranbir for disasters jagga… These statements will not save u. We pay money to get entertainment in cinema. Not for ur risk’s ok.
Akshay and Ajay are the real risk takers. Combined total movies done should be around 180. Still both of them according to box office India are among the top 3 actors with more successful movies than the rest then srk
true
he can do only southremake
is he anurag basu or lulla basu…mr.basu you r just a nonsense.in your whole career you gave just one good movie barfi n you r thinking you r a good director n btw if u have a single percent of knowledge about movies then take example of tere naam,bajrangi bhaijaan,partner,prem ratan dhan payo n kick n look at their variable genre…ranbir kapoor is good actor..but you r so cheap.rest in peace anurag feku…kaale kauye
maximum of ranbir’s film is coming of age kind of films.. wats different? his experiments are boring n crap n disasters.. wat the hell I have to do with his satisfaction.. in the name of satisfaction n different cinema he gives us movies like bv.. we want engaging or entertaining cinema not crapfest in the name of different, satisfaction n experiment.. salman is boring.. wat a joke! dats the reason majority of people watch his movies n become blockbusters n atbb.. jealous haan! we haven’t forgotten ur crapfest kites Mr. basu.. o wow dat was so different.. idiot director.. btw haven’t u watched bb Mr basu???
Is this pre excuses for Jagga jasos’ failure? Bhai se paanga leliya, you are doomed.
Anurag takes a lot of risks because he took a flopstar like Ranbir for his next. #fact
Anurag Basu… Hahaha! Kuchh bhi… Teri agli film kab aa rahi hai? Kuchh alag banana nahin to “being human” se donation lena pad jaayega….
I am srk fan ranbir is a good actor people saying salman cant act its not true watch his acting in tere naam superb yaar
From this statement it is noticeable that peak time of salman is over. He is nw moving towards declining phase of superstardom he enjoyed by his brainless rickshawala fans.Not even single fan of salman shows any knowledge of filmmaking.Salman continously used action comedy genre from WANTED and that to with eid benifits.If he is a real superstar and he trust his fans then release film like aamir did talash and released without single major promotional event.Thats called stardom.Even shahrukh is releasing Fan in non festive period.So its clear this was salmans last 200 cr I guess coz DECLINING PHASE has started bhaifans.
Whatever film salman does……even they are different categories bt acting is same..
Different genre bt acting same…
Crapy dance and crapy dialoguebaazi…
EVEN salman’s veer,srk’s ra.one,aamir’s talaash are far more entertaining than the best of ranbir’s movies
It seems that Anurag is finding it difficult to understand the connection Salman has with the audience, unfortunate, I could recall that people used to criticise Amitji also but were unable to beat his Superstardom. It is surprising to see that a director like Anurag Basu is unaware of the fact that Megastars like Amitabh Bachan,SRK,AK and Salman Khan develop a specific connection with the audience and then they take along their viewers to different journeys with them.
Ignore this Kala bhains :D few years back he also said Amitabh should retire frm Acting!
so es Idiot se kya umeed kre ham kuch bhi bhokta h ye Limelight me rehne k liye
May be the films like bb,prdp,tere naam,khamoshi are bit different but the acting of SALMAN always same
haha what a cheap way to promote this tamasha. this film will only work because of imtiaz ali and deepika. Ranbir is not a bankable actor and his starpower is low. Salman Khan choose PRDP which is a huge risk because such movies are not made today and its a very simple old school movie. and only because of salman khan this movie will collect 200+. This industry is not about taking risk. its all about money money money. and Salman, SRK, Aamir in a movie means money.
@hrithik this statement is made by anurag basu barfi director not anurag lashyap bombay velvet director so first check before hating someone unneccessarily.
