Thanks for the shoutout buddy 😆 😆 😆 this is the 2nd from someone today


its true I don't like dhanush and his style but besides him even that movie had serious plotholes . Anyway every actor cant work in every film so we can't expect shahid too . Hopefully he finally gets his footing back with that rajkumar movie

God willing

ranjhana was dropped due to shahid's committments to sdr, so its worthless to mention that. And abt cheap and chichora see above comment someone mentioned noone wants to take up such roles so shahid declined ranjhana. Now you urself proved that shahid can do that even too. It was not cheap chichora thing for which shahid declined ranjhana obviously. Dats all i want to say

I dunno about other films, but there was no way in hell, that Shahid or for that matter any hero in bollywood could have done Dhanush's role in Raanjhnaa!

It was not just about the superlative acting by Dhanush, but also the way he looked...behaved...that was very essential to the character of Kundan!

Bollywood hero's are too self-conscious and vain to play a character like Kundan, IMO! No one wants to look bad on-screen, even when they are playing a supposedly unattractive looking, boorish and essentially idiotic character like Kundan! They would still want to come out looking good in some way or the other! But Dhanush had no such compuctions...he played Kundan the way it was supposed to be played!

Respect to Dhanush for taking on such a role and turning it on its head! Can't imagine anyone in bollywood being able to do that!

@Pari, my comments were for the character of Kundan, not for Dhanush the actor. When I used the words unattractive and boorish...it was meant that the way Dhanush conveyed those things on-screen...not that he is unattractive and boorish. I am a huge fan of Dhanush...I have seen a lot of his tamil movies and I have great respect for him as an actor and as a person. Please don't misrepresent my words.

Also, I never singled Shahid out as not being able to do Dhanush's role in Raanjhnaa...I said that NO actor in bollywood could have done that role.

Shahid is a terribly underrated but undoubtedly gifted actor...but it was just my personal opinion, that he could not have done the role of Kundan in the way Dhanush had, had he even accepted it in the first place. He would have done some other version of the role...but not the way it eventually turned out to be.

i mentioned ur comment for kundan only, not for dhanush. i never misinterpreted it, as u said na that none of the bolly actors could take this unattractive and boorish role.. i wanted to say that it was not because of this reason shahid rejected this movie, it was because of date issues!! thats what i wanted to tell, otherwise actors never have problem in portraying any kind of role
