Ranbir apprehensive of romance post Jagga Jasoos debacle, turns down offers

Updated Nov 18, 2017, 3:13 pm IST

Ranbir Kapoor has decided to stay away from romance for the time being, no we aren't talking about his personal life.

The actor, who will be seen playing Sanjay Dutt in the latter's biopic and then in a superhero flick called Brahmastra, has decided to not try romance or romantic comedies on the big screen.

"The failure of Jagga Jasoos has impacted Ranbir a lot, says our source, adding. "He understands that he needs to do a variety of characters now, before people stop offering him such roles. He's still a big star and has a strong box office appeal, apart from having brand value among corporates. The rushes of Rajkumar Hirani's Dutt biopic are superb, and Ranbir now realises that he needs to change his route quickly.

Recently, Ranbir outright rejected two romantic film offers, and asked the filmmakers to come up with more interesting scripts he could work on.

One can only hope that Ranbir, who gained fame with movies like Wake Up Sid, will have more luck with this gamble.

Good decision. He has lost the face (Blame his age and genes) of a romantic hero. It would look comical if he gives those SRK/Dev Anand inspired expressions. Rajesh Khanna after losing his looks worked with Sridevi and other younger heroines, those movies were unintentional comedies.

Romance was never his forte anyways. He is an expert in one genre😉

I think I know what you meant. 😆 But I was talking about the I'm-a-cute-bola-bachha-take-me-to-your-bed expressions he keeps giving in movies. He gives the same expressions in sound bites or interviews, too. Fans may find those expressions cute but as a non-fan I find those videos downright creepy, esp. in sound bites when he's talking directly to me, the viewer. I'm like "Chi, uncle! Aise gande ishaare mat diya karo." I would have found those same expressions attractive if he was younger, or at least looked younger.

It's a good choice maybe... because, he CAN act in non-romance movies and that will widen his horizons.. its a good step IMO.
