Now Barun Sobti has taken the plunge and decided to give BW a go, lets ask whether Barun actually has it in him to become an A-lister?

I personally think he has the makings of a BW legend. Why? Well let's compare him to the 3 Khans!

SRK: SRK left TV decades ago, with no Godfather, and has seen meteoric success by initially taking on more unconventional roles (Darr, Bazigaar) and then proving his worth as a romantic hero in Yash Chopra classics. Barun has left TV in a flurry of media attention and has nabbed himself 2 films. We all know he can be the romantic hero on screen. Let's see if his upcoming projects showcase another facet of his acting ability, especially in his sports related movie. For a man with no mentor or Godfather, he's certainly achieved a lot.

Salman Khan: Salman is great at playing cheeky and romantic and is pretty much on the top spot in BW right now. Think romantic Barun Sobti in IPKKND and think Salman in Maine Pyaar Kiya - reminds me that both can woo their leading ladies like the best of them. Barun left the show with a bit of controversy, but like this Khan, has managed to weather most of the potentially bad press that came his way. Barun's offscreen antics remind me of the cheekiness of Salman - perhaps we'll see Barun in a Dabbang type role somewhere down the line?

Aamir Khan: This man has been around for a looong time but still can wow the audience with his intensity and brilliant acting. This man has worked hard to understand the film making process both onscreen and offscreen. Barun reminds me of Aamir (the same pretty look that Aamir used to have) - he has that same intensity. No one can question his dedication at all. I can even say he's becoming a better and better actor with time. There is a real possibility that years from now he can wow us with the same kind of intense, meaty roles that Aamir gives us. Maybe we'll even see Mr Sobti as director and producer of his own projects??

What does everyone else think??

Although I'm not a big fan of Sobti because of the way he quit, I think you do have a point.

The 3 Khans are now Buddas and their movies are all flopping left, right, center. What Bollywood needs is an actor, who can blow everyone's mind away. Who better than Expression King Barun Sobti.

Although some people might not like Aamir Barun comparison, I honestly think its wrong as in certain areas as Barun is far better than Aamir Khan. Aamir is terrible in Romance. Yeah he is a serious actor an all that, but the man cant romance for nuts. His Taalash put me to sleep.

So what I'm trying to say is that time is ripe for Barun to become the new EMPEROR of Bollywood

Agree about the Khans.. Aamir will still be my favorite just for his out of the box roles , Rang De Basanti for reliving our past history. But we cannot compare the Khans to Mr.Sobti at this point.
But as fro Mr.Sobti , I am not sure, time will tell, i think after the release of first movie and its reception by the general audience , they may end up loving him.
I liked him in IPK,he will make it , if he is committed like the Khans..he can compete with Khans..

Also we have an influx of TV stars like Ayushman, Sushant Singh , Ram Kapoor into BW with low budget but high social message movies ,some of them highly successful in the box office. And great movies .All I can say is , we have to wait and watch.
We also have the Veteran actors sons, like Ranbhir , Imran, Kunal KAPOOR who are pretty versatile for their genre and well versed in the BW norms of dialogue delivery,dancing skills, uninhibited for romance scenes and most importantly big banner backups.

Interesting comparison and u have missed one thing he's got the height advantage as well... He has already shown his mettle as a lively young man as shravan and an intense person as the formidable ASR... He can buff up really well as well and we saw that in the post MAMR ASR... His eyes r his biggest assets and he knows how emote through them so I think he will give every bollywood hero a run for his money.

I am just spellbound by this post that I am almost speechless and trying to get my thoughts together.
Before I get into the meat of my response I just want to say "I love you Denzel"
Okay that's cleared.

Legend - A person who embodies the pinnacle of all the important social aspects. Any person who is funny, reckless, original and sensitive in the right measures is likely to be nominated a legend by his associates. A person to whose persona you aspire.

A legend is someone whose coolness extends beyond all space and time. ( again I love you Denzel)

Anyway how you've put this post together I kinda see your point.
Maybe he can make it in BW
Maybe he might be better than all the aforementioned

When I look at him really carefully and at different angles there are some streaks of brilliance.
I am tired with being a hypocrite.

He will rule BW in 5/10/17 years
I am off to hibernate now

Nice post👍🏼

i was critical of his unproffessionalism, but he is amazing as an actor...I can totally see him romance the girls better than SRK in the swiss alps , beat up the bad guys like salman *go BS go* and do some intense stuff like Aamir...a 3-in-one if one can say

He's going to redifine bollywood actors and put the existing actors to shame,but needs to improve upon his dancing skills if he intends to do a govinda style movie...he'll shine, no doubt about it⭐️

*EDITED*
I absolutely adore your post and completely agree with it, Barun Sobti is one of the best and finest Telly Actors i've ever watched and yes, I've had my fair share of watching drama's since the wonderful K drama's And i must say, Barun has combined excellence and intelligence, He is simply a kalakarist <3 👏
His work and acting should definitely be rewarded, He's a wonderful actor who's amazingness must be recognised and us fans, us dedicated fans of Iss Pyaar, Sanaya, Barun and the rest of the cast have created such immense popularity that Arhi are well known. I'm speaking about Barun at the moment so i Personally believe he deserves to go into and be successful in Bollywood though I'm going to miss seeing him on TV but he has the looks, the facial expressions, the acting, he's a whole package ready to burst into Bollywood! 😳
Good luck Barun! We love you and were right behind you! Wishing you success <3

The biggest advantage Barun has over any actor, Khan or no Khan, Bollywood Hollywood Lollywood or Tauliywood is his fan following.

Nothing is impossible for a guy who will surely have such devoted and dedicated followers. I mean if he had a Twitter, he would kill Lady Gaga as the most followed person.

His so-so points are his dancing and interview skills. But who needs to be able to do the mambo when your acting skills will more than make up for the dancing issue. And who needs to be so articulate and be able to do well in interviews when people know he is just like that, a simple guy. I think most people understand he is not too comfortable with all of this and its a non-issue. I mean Rpatz is pretty awkward also in his interviews and he has done fine.
,
As far as him being a Legend, well we will see. Hopefully though, ,his honest ways and humble, grounded outlook will serve him well. As they say, there is no legacy as rich as honesty. So I'm sure we will see more of this take fruit.

I'm looking forward to watch his future unfold. All of the best.

Awesome post, thanks for the much needed positivity, away from all the bashers.

barun sobti is a babe...he is hot n cute at the same time .he knows how to act n change himself based on the character . he has a obsessed fan following i bet none of those khans has.i would say he is kind of better then all of those khans...
srk : that dude started BW from telly 18 years agao i think then people did not even know that there is a field called TELLY in india...n his acting sucked on that time...but yaar that man worked so freaking hard that no one in this industry did. non of the khans or kapoors...r u sure our barun is ready for that.
salman khan : this man is super he is the first who started that body building in movie i think...taking risks ...dedication n experimenting with every role...do u think barun has that kind of body n family back up???

amir khan : i like him but i think all he is today is bcz he picks some real good movie...by real i mean really good movie...even i think ranbir n imran khan ...ranbir is now a hot shot actor bcz he picked some great movie but imran picked bullshit...now my point is the movies barun is picking i m really not sure what is he thinking...

barun sobti can be or i must say should be a great bollywood actor but i think he needs to change a lot of facts about him...lets wait n see ...😊
