Ranbir is not like boring Salman, he takes risks: Anurag Basu

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.

  • so basically he is trying to say that ranbir is better than srk n aamir…even they have did different roles…they are in a different leauge

  • Salman knows he would fall flat if he does different films..Salman can never make a film like Barfee and CDI to Blockbusters!!

  • @josh,if the residence where we live is called paglapur than I think it’s the only place where most sensible persons are living.and I don’t want to tell about your residence where you risksawalas are living,i.e bhojpuri,ROFL.

    Please don’t insult the term blockbuster by taking it’s name repeatedly while your takla lallu struggled to get A HIT verdict in whole last decade of his own before arrival any Deva came from south to save your takla bhabijaan’s sinking career,ROFL.

    No need to hide behind Deepika who got Her life’s dream debut with A BB with WHOM?you know the name very well,ROFL.your takla bhabijaan chased 3i in 3-4 EID constantly with Dr makes/masala movies.while KING KHAN came with HIS 1ST MASALA FILM after 2010 and all record shattered overnight.

    Your takla bhabijaan till now hungry to break records,but not a single record added to his name.why?because uski aukat se bahar hain,got that?????

    And one more thing why your takla has so many bbs because of EID which is bigger holiday than DEEWALI.and the result he now got couldn’t make a single film in DEEWALI HIT.while KING KHAN gave ATBB ON EID.

    JTHJ,RA ONE,DON2 all would have become BLOCKBUSTERS if would have release in EID.and all those blockbusters of lalman would have become average/flop/disaster if would have release in DEEWALI.

    and don’t predict THE JAAN OF BOLLYWOOD—–KING KHAN.WHO IS THE SUPREME RULER OF ALL DECADES.while takla bhabijaan was depending upon multiactors in last two decades as more than half of his all successful films belongs to multiactors movie.and in last decade he was just good for nothing.and you’re predicting THE JAAN OF KING KHAN—-IT’S INFINITIVE.

    and about body making,kindly see gorilla’s Photoshop made bodybin jail ho and who also used body double in ett,ROFL.look at 10 PACK ABS KING KHAN in HNY.compare it with all of your lallu’s hardly visible 4 steroid made fatso packs in all his movies,ROFL.if you still want justification just a compare a recent photograph of both KHANS before few days ago when salamn was trying tomake pose of sultan with KING KHAN.measure the biceps of both KHANS from that picture,aukat pata chal jayega.

    If I’m not wrong ydid your family couldn’t feel anything when salamn said to as in “property check karunga” in ready?????and that vulgar bhojpuri item dance in dabang 2 along with fevicol song,that might your class,ROFL.

    Last thing is why I’ll need to d fight everywhere like you jobless even in social networking sites where I never allowed myself in fanwar yeah but I surely give votes and as well helps to trend in twitter.and that’s because I always allow more love than hatred in my life in every day ,that’s the major difference between you classless film watching bhojpiritard and ME.

  • lol poor anurag basu .publicity stunt ke lie kuch bolega..
    ranbir is surviving in bollywood just because rom-com
    genre ,big production house,big heroins.whenever he goes
    to do different genre movie he will get disaster like BV. this actor
    spent 8 years in the industry ..still didnt have a action movie,
    salman did two different genre movies this year. 1 atbb other is still running.by the way there is no comparesion between ranbir and salman. Ranbis is bachcha.

    and im sure ranbirs upcoming 3 movies will be
    flop.. tamasha can be average due to deepika

  • “creative satisfaction”. Hehe anurag gets creative satisfaction by copying Hollywood
    Murder (Unfaithful); Metro (The Apartment); Barfi (whole gamut)

  • yes mr anurag ur right…
    may be kites is ur way of being intresting nt ours.
    gud to see u knw hw to lic asses… as salman will nevr wrk wth u.. bt ranbir nw fed up with ur films n cancelled kishor kumar biopic. so keep licking… we dnt care.

  • ranbir takes risk???
    ya ur correct doing action films for kid ranbir is real risk…
    i hope bombay velvet producer think same way like anurag… n forget about intresting bombay velvet

  • Mr.basu was just promoting his film Jagga Jesus.he knows that with Only Randir can not make his movie hit if he took The Biggest Super Star of Country SALMAN Can make his movie to the Hit status so all the Salman fans plz forgive him…he did that bcoz of his bread n better …

  • I have observed many Bengalis does not like Salman n lick Srk. Whats the funds in it ? KKR ? OK but why hate Salman ??

  • Well i love salman’s acting in his debue movie ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ but his acting prowess lost somewhere in between. Than again he shines with his impeccable coming timing in ‘Andaaz Apna Apna’. Also he was fairly ok in ‘Sajaan’ though i was ecpecting his lover boy casanova will pale in compare to Sanju Baba’s sincere author backed role as a poet, bravo. He wasnot bad either in musical love story ‘Love’. He completely overshadow Shahrukh with his macho act in ‘Karan Arjun’. He does same to Akshay in ‘Janemaan’. ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, ‘Tere Naam’ & ‘Kyou Ki’ are undoubtedly his best so far. Besides his boxoffice clout cannot be denied he is numero uno of current boxoffice but he is no less an actor just he was underutilized and also he lacks a gut to take risks. My suggestion to Salman ‘sir u r a huge actor plz dont please us please actor inside u and i promise ur amid fan followers will even accompany u there’. Thanks.

  • amjad khan as gabbar singh, amir in rangeela, madhubala in mughal e azam, ajay in zakhm, salman in hahk , anil in pukar , naseer in a wednesday etc will be remembered forever even though they didnt win fakefare awards. i love salman because he has never buy awards and hits

  • One of the best jokes in Bollywood! “Ranbir Kapoor is not boring and takes riskes”… But Basu is not totally wrong about Salman… from time to time he chances the roles, but still, not very often… but that line about Ranbir… :))

  • Anurag and Ranbir they are business partner and they need some publicity badly. They are going to give another disaster. Stop using Salman khan name, he has nothing to do with you guys. They are jealous of Salman khan success.

  • In fact, Salman is not taking risk working with Aanurag Basu that he wanted to say ….. Wait 10/15 years he would give you chance Mr. Basu!

  • Nice way to get in limelight for ur upcoming movie….its becoming trend now , say something against Salman and get the limelight….cheapta ki hadd ho basu…JAGGA JASOOS ache se nahi ban rahi kya, loosing confidence

  • Anurag is jealous of Salman success. Salman has done different roles in kick, family role in PRDP, innocent and being human role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, commedy in Partners, action in Wanted, Police officer in Dabangg. Ranbir is flop actor, he should retire from bollywood. Tamasha will also flop. Hirani sanjay dutt biopic will also not do much business, tsanjay dutt biopic role much suits to salman.

  • Actually this ‘Aukaatless basu ‘ oh oops sorry basu sir ….this ‘Aadha dhakan basu’ oh oops sorry once again basu ji ………. ‘As?ho?e basu’ …..(no, i will not be sorry this time) is the most unboring, most interesting , most exciting , most creative , most entertaining, most exhilarating, most captivating, most mesmerizing, most spell binding , most spontaneous , most original & simply the most talented director we would ever have in the otherwise boring Bollywood history, I seriously feel he should have been awarded a national award and an Oscar for the every single movie that has directed , not only all the 7 or so movies that he has directed have been very family friendly , they have all been ‘original’ & clean entertainers, all his movies like have gone on to become record breaking ATBBs and are indeed some of the greatest movies ever made in the history of mankind!

    I am sure that his next movie ‘Risk ko bi risks denewala jasoos’ with the ‘media-made kapoor’ aka ranbir kapoor (who is the most interesting , most exciting & most risk taking actor of all time ) will be a very unique , out-of-this-world & original masterpiece and it would be so great that it would break each & every record that is there and would surely collect more than Mr. warren Buffet’s entire wealth , I am damn sure about it.

    And lastly Mr. As?h?lerag basu has the most beautiful ,most prettiest & the most glamorous face and the most attractive physique in the entire Bollywood industry , even the mirror itself would feel privileged & proud to see his beautiful lovely face.

  • @sami it’s just as well that Salman has fallen flat on his face with 9 100 crore films, nine back to back blockbusters, first male actor to earn 514 crore on one year, movie just kicked out Don 2 off his pedestal, PRDP created more than 5 new records, and the list goes on. Now you stupid moron before you start posting your stupid idiotic comments go do what Salman has done. Use your money to help the poor. Help farmers restore their crops. Etc. Then come make comments it is idiots like you who are creating problems in your own country you don’t do a damn thing in appreciation of those who are trying to raise standards but you are cursed out of your own mouth. Like I tell all haters go stick your head and brains in your butt that’s where it belongs.

  • To Anurag Basu it is better to be thought a fool than open your mouth ? and remove all doubt. You are the biggest fool that has ever entered BW trying to make movies. How many flops have you and nerdy Ranbir has to date. Come you two go get a life along with Salman haters er don’t give an iffing damn about you or the haters no matter how hard you try you can never change the results and Salman at this point is no one way ahead at box office. Go surf ? koimoi get your facts straight.

  • With ur all nonboredom n freshness plz make one film that will cross 600cr worldwide then we wil thnk abt it. 600cr is not a joke Ppl get bored wid 600cr movie and u thnk 100cr BV is fresh unlike salman? Then we wud lov to get bored dis way, directors n actors like u n ranbir r tens of thousands across d globe but salmania is an enigma he is one of the worlds biggest superstar. For u whole world is a bore.

  • Anurag Basu is an arse. He is the worst director in BW and had the audacity to point fingers at others. May your fin Tamasha be cursed from the very pits of hell. You and that moron Ranbir

  • Dragonfly 2002 -> Saya 2003
    Unfaithfull 2002 -> Murder 2004
    Arthur 1981 -> Tumsa nahin dekha 2004
    The apartment 1960 -> Life in a Metro 2007
    dozens of hollywood classics -> Barfi 2012

    so much creative satisfaction Mr.Basu got by stealing
    hollywood flicks in to his movies. now look over ranbir kapoor filmo graphy ->

    Saawariya
    Bachna Ae Haseeno
    wake up sid
    Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
    Anjaana Anjaani
    barfi
    Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
    Besharam
    Tamasha

    almost same character and same doing in every movies
