But ask him about it and Ranbir humbly says, "Shah Rukh is a legend and a style icon. I am glad that I am going to follow him in setting trends. But frankly speaking I'm just three films old. They are both great actors."
The actor has been linked to his Rajneeti co-star Sarah Thompson, but reports said she had to shop alone on a recent visit to Mumbai, as Ranbir was busy. "Yes I have been busy shooting. A lot has been said about us without any confirmation. I have not gifted her anything yet. She has been a great co-actor and we are good friends," says Ranbir.
Asked about former flame Deepika Padukone's link-ups to liquor baron Vijay Mallya's son Siddharth, Ranbir is non-plussed. "Deepika is an amazing girl. If she has a boyfriend, it's fine with me. I can't comment on that," he retorts.
In the US, the actor has begun working on his forthcoming venture Rockstar directed by Imtiaz Ali. "We have been shooting and the film is only tentatively titled Rockstar. I am enjoying the role. But it's far too early to talk about the project now," he concludes.
