I love Ranbir but I just feel that, Ranveer's filmography is so much better than Ranbir.
I don't know if it is just bad luck or whatever but for some reason Ranbir has ended up choosing films of reputed directors that turned out be not just their most disastrous films but also the most time consuming with continuous delays. For example, Bombay Velvet, Jagga Jasoos and going by indications - Bhramastra. Imtiaz Ali's bad phase too started with Tamasha (which had a lukewarm response) and Sanju somehow doesn't even seem to have any kind of recall value in audience minds unlike Hirani's previous films.
Sure, Ranveer has his low points like Befikre. But he has had successes too ... Unlike Ranbir - with whom people have been bringing up the same four films in the past eight years to talk about his acting prowess , Ranveer just has done more work, varied work to talk about.
Ranbir would have probably played Khilji his own way... Given it his own interpretation.. He has done a Rockstar , so it isn't as if he can't bring out the intensity (which is not the usual internally-brooding manchild characterization) but I don't know if he can bring out the manic uninhibited energy.... Whether it a historical equivalent of a Padmavat or a "masala-entertainer" like a Simbaa. We don't know because he hasn't really done enough varied work.. except Besharam and we know how that turned out
Edit: okay, just read the topic carefully now, and realize my post has nothing to do with it 😬
