He looks good theres no denying that. He's a fairly decent actor, much better than some of the current lot and yet he doesn't get roles and he isn't exactly as popular either.
He's worked with Salman, Alia, Kangana, Kareena and other top names in the industry and yet he still isn't a mainstream actor.

Why do you think that?

Is it because he hasn't really done a really good commercial movie in a lead role? Doesnt have an exciting personal life for his PR to exploit? Hasn't done a YRF one yet? Or do you think he doesnt have the screen presence?

I watched his recent movie trailer Do lafzon ki Kahani.
Trailer looks so good.
As I saw the original movie I can say brilliant movie.
I hope it would do well.

I know right, it looked really good when I saw it! Defo can't wait to watch it. Though Im not sure if it'll do that well. I think its supposed to be releasing around Valentines and there are multiple movies releasing around that time so unfortunately they're gonna eat up each others box office collections.

I was watching Mein aur Charles yesterday on Netfilx. He was amazing. He is really underrated. But I feel he will rise and shine many years from now just like Irrfan did. They used to ignore Irrfan so much up until a few years ago when that man has been giving mind blowing performances since his TV days (Satya, Star best sellers, Darr etc) . I think Randeep's rise will be similar.

Because Bollywood is too nepotistic and elitist and PR driven to recognize him..I mean they would rather go on and on about Alia's 'Meryl Streep'isc performance than appreciate another actor who literally stole the show from her in the same film 😆 I was just listening to this song a while back and it again struck me how fcuking brilliant Randeep was in Highway <3

That man is absolutely gorgeous! I was watching Highway the other day and he nailed it. Aliya acted well but tbh I feel that she took away all the credit. I suppose he's not that famous because his personal life isn't on tabloids all the time. You also need to be a bit of kiss up and network in Bollywood and I dont think he does that a lot.
