Shuru mein, it's easier to pick the diverse roles...not get taken in because they're simply not stars then. It's hardest when you have a brush of it..maybe I'm being negative but there's lots of stars who started out being different and then got trapped by stardom when they tasted it..even Ranbir seems to be heading down that path now. 😕 But still, I hope Sushant won't fall in that well. It might be easier for him since ..well the star system itself might not be as prominent...who knows. 😆
Re: SDR ..yep I'm super curious to see it for this reason. I wanna see how Sushant did especially because Raghu doesn't seem like this likable guy. And I toh anyways quite like Parineeti, so win win. 😆
I thought someone had said they were considering both Sushant and Ranveer. Sushant is definitely the better pick for this type of role. I don't think Ranveer would work...he is...too...over the top for lack of a better word..like..too much...Obviously, directors have seen something in Sushant..Shekhar Kapur, Dibakar, Abhishek aren't are gera directors...and anyways a director's job is to imagine an actor in a completely different setting and have the faith that they can do it..
oh that reminds me I have to show you this...Dibakar was fawning over Sonam in this interview where he mentioned all sorts of really crazy ideas about things he would want to make with her...I was toh just amazed that someone can think of her in THESE types of roles! I dunno if anything will ever work out but I really appreciate Dibakar's creativity...if his films weren't enough to convince his interviews sure do the needful. 😆 He also pointed out an interesting thing...if you're going to do the same thing with an actor then you have to compete with it inch by inch...essentially go into another person's world and do things from there in a way..best is to just do something completely different ..I liked that..😆
Haha, you didn't like RL trailer much I presume. 😆 It looks SLB's version of Ishaqzaade to me..except these two don't hate each other at first..really unpopular opinion on the forum, but I found Deepika...underwhelming in the trailer...especially the first scene. She looks great and sensual, but that ...extra something is missing. Ranveer ...I finally noticed that he mumbles his dialogues. I couldn't make out what he was saying in some parts..rest there wasn't much to judge...the scene where he was yelling at DP was nice...I guess SLB just wanted to show passionate chemistry. 😆
You only JUST discovered Ranveer's mumbling? LOL it only ever worked when he played Bittoo...in every role after that, I noticed more and more that he's got a slightly umm high pitched/nasal voice and on top of that he mumbles...disastrous combination for dialogues.
haha Ramleela trailer deffo didn't impress me except for the usual SLB stuff...I know the songs will be shot well😆...but Deepika was quite underwhelming...she lacks that FIRE in her...something that Parineeti has with EASE...and she was shooting bucketfuls of it in Ishaqzaade...you just need to place the two shots side by side and Deepika's Leela just doesn't begin to match up to that fiery Juliet...yes the trailer is higher on passionate chemistry but even those seem random to me...Ranveer is basically playing himself😆...a raunchy gunda...and while I appreciate the guy for his energy and creativity otherwise, I feel like there was a blahh quality to the way he was showcased in the trailer...not a single EXPRESSION that I could say stayed with me...
Parineeti toh was EXPECTED to be good in SDR...and she was...ofcourse she was...I really liked her...I'm saying Sushant SURPRISED me...I had pegged him as a certain kind of actor...but he's breaking the mould of that impression...
Re: baggage...frankly the ppl who give up the aspirations to be acting for the sake of acting are usually the ones that don't see early success, which Sushant has managed to with his two films so far...anyways yes I do agree it's early days...but so far Sushant has surprised me pleasantly...when I didn't think he would...and the fact that he's a rare ARTIST...he acts for the love of the art...and it shows in his focus in his performances.
Re: Dibaker...wowww that is a LOT of fawning...lol that must have made Sonam's day...I thought ROM was her biggest fanboy but Dibaker seems to be beating him out😆...what vision...would be so thrilling for any actor to be envisioned so beautifully by a director...it would be nice if Dibaker could follow up on his words and cast her in something good😛😆...anyways for now I'm excited for what Dibaker extracts from Sushant😊
