YUP RK as an actor is on another level of overrated!

too bad Aditya Roys movies are not even worth promoting. just gets coverage for his airport looks.

Ugh, this could have been a great thread to discuss whether stardom exists or not. A decent conversation where people would agree and disagree. But sadly, the forum is filled with fanatics who can't see anything beyond their favorite celebrity. What a lost opportunity. Maybe we should all just stick to commenting on how cute they are and move on.

ARK is what he is. He is not made out to be an acting God. When he is an acting joke! Same monotone dialogue delivery and wooden expressions. No one here overrates him unlike the acting joke Ranbir!

I love how you can't find flaws in Vicky. So you switched to ARK! In all honesty, I don't think he even tried to establish himself as the greatest of all actors. He just went wherever life took him.

When someone questions the article then it becomes open discussion. Point is the Kapoor lad or others weren’t just brought up in the topic outta no where. Just read the 1st pg where animal was brought up so obviously 🙄 other point of views will emerge.

Your talking about fanatics!

All I did was disagree with him and gave a perfectly reasonable example of the clash between RK and Vicky just recently. The facts really seemed to get a few people mad, as expected.

Well, being honest, Animal winning over Sam wasn't - in the first place - Ranbir's merit. I won't deny that his screen presence already showed in the promotional material...but, to me, it seemed quite one-dimensional.

Sam Bahadur as a biopic is in no way comparable to Animal ...and it had become a Hit because of Vicky's performance, without any doubt.

Budget: ₹ 60.00 Cr * Approx Verdict: Hit

Anurag gave Masaan to Vicky before Bombay Velvet bombed and his hype died. Anurag was quite a hyped name then with the likes of KJO hanging out with him and working with him. At that point for a newcomer to land a film with Anurag's production must have been quite an opportunity.

Just becusre some of you guys lie too much, doesnt mean we will let you.

Anurug didnt give Vicky nothing, Vicky auditioned for Masaan and even then he wasnt the first choice, Raj Kummar was. Not everyone is like Ranbir and Alia who are handed careers, you know.

"So, post that I started doing theatre to enhance my acting skills. In 2013, we met again while travelling to Pune and we started talking about life and work."

"During the conversation, I got to know that he is making a film and is in search of a producer but is struggling with it. He then shared that he has made a pilot promo on the film with Rajkumar Rao. Owing to Masaan's tight budget, they could not create a mela, but had to wait to shoot a real one.

"The mela in Benaras usually happens in the month of October and there were some issues with Raj's dates so there was a vacancy for that role, and I jumped right into it. After giving auditions, I was finally selected for that role."

Both Vicky and Neeraj started their careers together as assistant directors on Anurag Kashyap's "Gangs of Wasseypur". "We earlier thought of Rajkumar Rao for Deepak. I was very particular about having the nuances of the culture and look right so I was hesitant to take him as he is from Mumbai and a Punjabi. I was not sure if he would be right. "He is a dear friend but I would not have cast him just because of that as the film is above me," Neeraj said on the sidelines of the sixth Jagran Film Festival where his film premiered. Young Kaushal's two-scene audition, however, changed the director's mind. "I was blown away by his audition. I called him and said, 'You are my Deepak'. He has put in a lot of effort to get Deepak right...
