Barun's a decent actor and can act well, but for me, he does need to improve.

There are so many actors who have played or can play an angry young man but nobody has that grace, style, glamour and persona that is essential for the character of ASR, other than Barun. There were too many comparisons of Barun and other actors in the forum when this show started so I watched some episodes of the other shows just to know how these actors are different or similar. I found the other actors very good too, there is no doubt about that but I did not find Barun less in any aspect from those actors. Indeed ASR's character is more stylish and requires glamourous personality and Barun is the only actor on telly world so far who posses these qualities. Actually Barun is the only actor on Indian tv world who looks like a star. He is as perfect as Aamir Khan, and as entertaining and chulbula actor as SRK. He has set his own standards and he has competition from himself only.

I think it is not fair to tell that someone doesnt suit for some roles

We dont know how much ability does a person possess, we cant under estimate anyone
I'm not at all claiming that no one can do ASR perfectly as barun do, But I do claim that Barun is doing a really perfect job and giving his 100% to ASR and he makes the character believable
While watching BHPH I never thought about Barun doing such a Khadoos and akadu character with this much perfection, when he got a chance he proved it
So everyone needs a chance to prove themselves.

Ironically members are encouraged to provide their opinion about a certain matter. For example: Ipepe's suggestion of Arjun Biljani or whatever to do a role similar to this. Yet the actor who hasn't even been given the opportunity to do such a role, is automatically considered inferior or not adequately suitable. Did we know that Barun Sobti would be able to do this role? When I watched his old shows I would never have imagined him being capable of doing such serious roles. But we get surprised don't we?

Similarly, who would have guessed that Sanaya could make such a transition from being a quiet, reserved and shy Gunjan to a loud, chirpy and bubbly Khushi. We cannot judge an actor simply based on their previous roles. I'm sure given the chance, Arjun might be able to prove himself worthy as well. I'm not a fan of him, but I feel that it is harsh to automatically condemn someone's ability to act in a certain role without actually having screen proof to back up your opinion.

Anyway enough about him. In response to this thread, I do think Barun has improved substantially. I do admit that I have high expectations from him. Only because the character he is portraying happens to be my main attraction for the show. I have a huge thing for angry, Alpha heroes. There are times when I feel that he hasn't reached that certain 'notch' yet, but seeing as how he is progressing, I'm sure he will reach it soon

It is absolutely my personal opinion that Arjun Bijlani does not suit the role of ASR . As I ihave repeatedly seen LRL I am familiar with Arjun's acting and persona.
Another reason - is I do not hink Arjun and sanaya would have had such a sizzling chemistry so early after doing friends roles in MJHT .
And I am not dogmatic , if by any chance Barun leaves the show and Arjun replaces him and does well , I will surely applaud him based on others comments because I will not be watching it.
Arjun is a great actor no doubt and I like him a lot. If you go to his CFC you will find me as his fan club member .
I have not commented on Mishal Raheja , as I do not know him.
I do not remember ever mentioning in any of my post that Barun is the only actor who suits ASR's rule.
IMO we have the right to say who would suit a role and who would not based on our knowledge about that actor , not necessary for everyone to do the role and then prove it. In that case for any new show , directors or creatives would never be able to make a shortlist for screen-testing the actors as they would have to give chance to every actor to try the role .
No matter how fond I am of Barun sobti and how much I admire him , I do not think he is suitable for Bollywood film acting . I say so openly.

On the contrary , I was confident that Barun would do justice to this ASR . I knew based on his performance in BHPH and some clips of DMG and of course the ads.
I still think that Shravans role was more more multishaded than ASRs role . And an actor who can do shravans role so well - will be able to take challenge of any role .
You can go through any of my earlier posts when the show started and I never doubted Baruns ability to do this role
IMO doing angry mans role is much easier than doing comedy roles. One has to have very good comic timing to do justice to comedy roles and not every actor has that talent. But once again this is just my opinion , I respect anyone else's different POV.

Sunaina, I am just curious to know, why do you think that Barun is not suitable for Bollywood film acting? Is that because they won't be able to get his full potential? or there is something else in your mind? Please share with me because I really want to know why do you think so. We both are big fans of Barun and his acting skills and most of the time you say the samething in his profile that I want to say. I think that he got everything; good physique, glamourous and charming personality, good voice, exceptionally good expressions, ability to do all kinds of roles perfectly and in Bollywood nobody has all these qualities at all. Some actors have good looks but no height or body, some have good bodies but no acting skills. Barun is a complete package but still I don't want him to waste his talent there if he doesn't get good challenging roles there. I don't want him to go just in films but go there if he gets really good roles. I just see a potential in him to get into Bollywood. I really want to know your pov regarding this. Please don't think wrong about me, I am not questioning you, I am just curious to know your views on this because usually we share the same pov. especially for Barun. Surprisingly, we both are fans of Balraj Sahni. Me too prefer Balraj Sahni over Dilip Kumar as you do. So please share your pov. Thanks.

Let me explain Sue -
1. Film acting is very different from TV acting . IN TV acting , 90 percent of the time camera is focussed on the face of the actor and upper body . Therefore it is very important how expressive an actor is with his eyes and face whereas in movies or big sceen - 30 percent of the time you get long shot ( actor has to have good walking, running dancing, jumping postures) , 50 percent of the time - it is medium shot - so not only the face but whole body language of the actor in important. He should know how to stand or sit , what to do with his hands , most important how to to react to another co-actor in the same screenspace.
TV actors get used to their own style of acting and find it difficult to adjust to film-acting demands. Barun Sobti is no exception. Now that he is more expereinced with TV acting , he will find it more difficult to adapt to movie acting .
2. Yes , Barun could have done it if he would have got the necessary time and training but who will give him that scope?. Bollywood is a multi-billion dollar industry and the male leads carries the bulk of it on his shoulder . No one wants to take risk unless of course the YRFs (or previously RKs) who have the tradiiton of introducing new faces, But if you are already acting in TV - you are not a fresh face . So no chance that way . So no chance for Barun from that angle.
3. Sue you have listed all the qualities of Barun except one . You have not listed it becuase BArun doesnt have it - and that is dancing skill. It is unfortunate ,but it is a fact , without dancing , it is not possible to be a hero in Bollywood filns . May be in a low-budget art film but never in a full-fledged commercial grosser .
4. Public relation and off screen persona - this is a recent requirement for Bolllywood actors - to perform on stage , be media friendly , in short - be everything what SRK is . If you lack it or have no interest in it - you as well not try to be in films. As far as I know BArun Sobti neither has the interest nor is inclined to such attributes.
I want Him to rule the televison world and not play the second fiddle in Bollywood and stamped as a B-grade actor .
