For so much praise by 'Bollywood and Southern and filmmakers,' he hasn't been casted in any regional cinema though?

Plus if we are pulling rank, Martin Freeman, Brian Cox, Mads Mikkelsen all have called method acting bullshit, and they went to even more pretigious schools than Lee Strasberg.

From the alumi list of the said most prestigious school :

Amy Jo Johnson is a good actress. She should’ve done the movie

Ranbir is the only South Asian actor to have been admitted & graduated from the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film School....the most prestigious film school in the world. Strasberg is the guy who trained Al Pacino & Robert De Niro. The term "Method acting" which has now become synonymous with good acting was coined by this school and is their most intense course. Famous alumni include Angelina Jolie, Marilyn Monroe, Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans and many many more.

There's a reason Ranbir is widely considered the best actor in India by his contemporaries whether Bollywood or Southern and film-makers. This forum loves to hate on him for petty reasons but this is an extremely poor take saying he's no match for a very mediocre Fawad Khan.

I don't reckon it was much of a hassle for someone like Ranbir to get a spot in a fancy acting school like that. Plus, most of those alumni you brought up aren't exactly making waves for their acting chops. Ranbir might be on par with Fawad as an actor, or maybe not. But when it comes to the full package, Fawad's miles ahead.

Now that Pakistani actors are allowed in Bollywood again, I wonder if KJo will bring back Fawad Khan. Would love to see him paired with Aishwarya or Deepika.

Ironically enough, initial rumors about ADHM was that the main story would be a romance between Aish and Fawad. KJo should have stuck with that. Keep Anushka or SRK as a third to make it a love triangle.
