Actor Ranbir
Kapoor says he
views
competition as a
healthy and
beneficial
exercise, amid the
buzz that the
upcoming award
season will be a
face-off between
his and Ranveer
Singh's
performances.
The year began
with Ranveer
garnering critical
acclaim for his
portrayal of Sultan Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay
Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, that released on
January 25.
Ranbir, who has been through a dull box
office phase in the last couple of years,
bounced back last Friday as his latest Sanju,
a biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt, has registered
a strong opening at the ticket window.

Asked about the comparisons between him
and Ranveer, Ranbir said, "I've seen
Ranveer in Padmaavat' and I was really
bowled over by his performance. I thought
he was phenomenal. I've now been pitted
against Ranveer as competition'. It's
amazing to have that. It only pushes us to
do better work.
"He (Ranveer) inspires and excites me.
There are times his films do better business
than mine and hopefully there will be a time
when my films will be doing better
business. It will be an interesting pattern,
he adds.
