I cant see him doing something even like Gunday - he cant pull that off. I cant see him pulling off a King like Bajirao either - he doesn't have it in him.
I could be wrong but I just cant see it. Ranbir adds too much feminity to his character, I am not saying that's a bad thing, but sometimes he does not come across as MANLY as Ranveer does. Remember how this forum tore him apart for his "girlish" dancing in Channa Mereya - and I was one of the only people defending him cuz his character was drunk lol...But yeah that's why I cant see him in a lot of "manly" roles, he's good in the man-child/confused charactes. I am not saying he's a bad or anything, but he just wouldn't work in those roles and someone like SLB can see that too.
Ranbir/Ranveer are both talented in different ways...and they cant replace each other, they both fill two different voids we have in the industry.
I think its unfair to say Ranbir is miles and miles ahead of Ranveer. I think both are very strong, both of them won Best Actor in the 4th year in the industry. They are far more superior to Varun, Arjun and all the rest.
