Media = KWK

But I do like Ranbir and his acting skills but can't tag him as a Superstar, he still has a lot to achieve...

1. SRK, Aamir, Salman, Hrithik
2. Akshay,
3. Ajay

Nobody else has star power to make a film work! Even whatever films like Jai Ho, Bang Bang made a lot of money due to star power! Salman's worst movie in recent years has been Jai Ho but it has opened and performed better than any new actors movi

He IS a superstar. One movie doesn't change anything. Shahrukh, Salman and Amir also had their share of bad periods but they bounced back.

The fact is that they is no better actor in this new generation. Ranbir is a great actor AND a superstar and a flop or two wont stop his ascend to the top. Ultimately he will replace the Khans.

In a way yes. Ranbir is a good actor and does have star power but he is not a superstar yet. He is still behind the Khans, Hrithik, Akki and Ajay. But yes, the disaster that is Bombay Velvet does not define his career.

I think rather than the media it was the industry which was quick to put RK on a pedestal-from KJo to Imtiaz to Kashyap brothers...everyone thinks they are set if Ranbir is on the same page as them. It all worked really well for nepotistic Bollywood to see Kapoor scion right at the top. You cant deny he has starpower to a certain extent but isnt that great either how much BW and his fans make him out to be.

The fate of these newbies makes me wonder how unfair media was to likes of Anil Kapoor, Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt whose films were at one point, outgrossing those of previous solid reigning superstars like Big B, Dharam and Kaka!

No mean feat to give the year's biggest hit when reigning monarchs are still around. Anil easily put Tezaab on "Shehanshah"!

Yet they weren't given their due and merely got labelled as kings in waiting or "could have beens".

Heck! Even Govinda and Chunkey managed to give a yearly top grosser in form of Aankhen unlike today's overhyped newbies who neither make waves in masala nor experimental cinema!

Same for yesteryear heroines like Sri and MD whose mere presence atleast guaranteed an initial to talk of.

Superstars are ones who roar at ticket counters. Not the ones hyped just due to relationships, lineage or potential.

I think more than talking about whether he is a superstar or not, it is good that the audience has started to associate him with GOOD acting.

When was he a superstar? May be by select media sections. This year looked liked his year, either to get that superstar tag or go back in the pack with rest of them. So far, its the later. Much damage has been done already. Guys like Aamir or HR wont be affected for having no release in 1015.. coz they r already superstars. Ranbir has long way to go.
In 21st century, we have 4 supastars, 3 Khans and HR. They keep changing their positions. It was once only between Srk and HR, and HR topped it in 2006. Then, Srk got no.1 position back and then Salman rose to it and then Aamir is no.1 now. But if BB and PRDP makes it to BB, Salman will be back at no.1

BV's spectacular failure on back of Besharam and Roy is gonna hurt ranbir's star power. Hope hez not into drugs.. coz he has it in him to bounce back!

Akshay, Ajay, Shahid, Saif, Abhishek never got the superstar status. Anil Kapoor got it for a while but he was back with the pack. Sanju baba, Govinda, Mithun, Vinod, Dharam, Jackie, Sunny D also never got that status.. althou they have seen much bigger highs than Ranbir's YJHD..

Yes, every star has gone thru good and bad phases but when u r taged a Superstar, it stays with u. Nobody will mind if Amitabh is called superstar or megastar even today. Coz his body of work speaks volumes.

Ranbir has tough competition also now. Good luck!
