Q. Does the failure of Besharam affect Ranbir Kapoor in any way as most are blaming director?

A. It doesn't affect him much in terms of assignments as even a dud like Besharam will be a higher grosser than any of his contemporaries films so still the best young star by a distance. But it does show his audience base is not growing yet as the opening at single screens was lacklustre for a national holiday and initial in single screens are a must for a truly big star.

Q. Can it be that Besharam flopped so badly that the makers made fun of iconic Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan starrers like DDLJ and Dabangg that their fans refused to watch the film?

A. The public does not care that past films are (if) being made fun. These iconic quotes and labelling are generally within industry and journalists, public does not take films that seriously and not bothered how past films are represented, they only have interest in the film they are watching and just want a good film to watch for two and a half hours. If this was a problem then the film would not have collected such a number on day one. Besharam failed because of its content being rejected, nothing else.

After YJYD he was compared to Khans, after Besharam failure he is compared to new comers...so it's Khans>>Ranbir>> Young actors, that is where his actual position...😆

He can be a big star in the future but right now,nope he isn't that big of a star..like Salman of Shahrukh who have a bigger appeal over the youth than Ranbir.

Khans have way too many loyal fans that will watch their movies no matter how bad the content. Ranbir doesn't have that fanbase yet, I think he just needs to associate himself with more good films and roles and he should be right up there one day.
Khans will machao dhoom till then. 😆

He is a big star the film got 20 crore opening its no aira gaira thing ..it is a big thing. He can pull people to the theatres his films create hype but ultimately the film needs to have some content too. He is not as big as the Khans to make any masala film run for months and fetch 100 crores. His fanbase is multiplex audience and college crowd they need a film like Barfi or even YJHD not Besharam.
