Ayushman vs. Ranveer: Better actor?

Ranveer has, so far, stayed clear of middle of the road cinema. (Except of, course..for Lootera and GullyBoy)

His preference seems to be for over the top type of films of SLB and Rohit Shetty. No doubt, this will put him in line to take over from the Big 5 who are rapidly approaching the twilight stage.

Ayushmann, from Vicky Donor to Andhadun, has taken a different path. He looks sensitive, underplays his character, makes you laugh at him and with him.

Who do you think is a better actor and why?

Oh this one is easy...

Ranveer...Ranveer can do everything that Ayushmann did and with more elan! Same can’t be said about Ayushmann....

Talent wise, I think they're equal. I much prefer Ayushman's movies. SLB and Rohit Shetty are both too loud for me.

Ayushman chooses not to do run-of-the-mill films like Ranveer does. I am sure he will excel if he does a Simba or Padmavat. Ranveer, on the other hand, can't underplay like Ayushman does. Of course, we can agree to disagree!

What do you mean underplay? An actor needs to play exactly to the script that he is given...Underplaying doesn’t exactly come under great acting IMHO...Ayushmann doesn’t underplay...He plays well to the script and so does Ranveer and that’s why they are called good actors...Ayushmann sure can play Simmba and Khilji- anybody can for that matter, but who is watching him do that? You probably think a Simmba and Khilji don’t need good acting skills to convince the audience and bring them to the theater- yes very gladly agree to disagree!

No, I never said that nor do I think they are easy roles to play. All I am saying is, Ayushman chooses to do more realistic, slice-of-life cinema. Give him an unconventional role like Andadhun and he kills it too. Ranveer, on the other hand, excels in larger-than-life cinema. Their sensibilities are different.

I just disagreed with you when you said he can't do what Ranveer does. I feel he is more experimental than Ranveer, and if he chooses to, then he can easily do those kind of roles. On the other hand, Ranveer won't be able to do Andadhun or Bala because he likes to play safe.

For me, the kind of cinema which Ayushman does exemplifies his abilities. It is vice-versa for Ranveer, if you know what I mean.

IF a Lootera, Bajirao and Gully boy didn’t convince you that he can not just do but excel in the movies like Andhadhun and Bala then nothing else can...We better agree to disagree because this debate has already hit the roadblock when you said Ranveer doesn’t experiment enough...😕

They are both actors with their own styles of acting.

Ranveer is eccentric like Johnny Depp

Ayushmann has a kinda younger fresher feel like Zac Efron

Now both Depp and Efron are great actors but have different strengths. You cannot compare the two.

Ranveer is becoming like SRK, massively overrated by lovers and massively underrated by haters.

Quite an easy pick - Ayushman.
