Reason Ranbir is around despite multiple flops is directors/producers still see in him the potential for blockbusters with the right script. RK is no Fahad Faasil or Rajkumar Rao, but in current BW, Ranbir can actually deliver an acceptable performance. So I wouldn't discount him. In fact, his forthcoming films look promising. I dislike Luv Ranjan movies, but he does churn out hits. Same for Animal. Sadly, Brahmastra doesn't carry the smell of success to it. Shamshera should be a departure from the tried and tested, too.
In return for RK mockery, Ranveer gets mocked with claims most his hits were with wife and godfather. People forget he didn't get the movies because of wife or godfather. He acted in those moves and wooed his wife in the process. SLB became RS's godfather AFTER RamLeela. You could also say SLB hasn't had any recent hits without RS-DP. Or that DP hasn't had any recent hits without RS and SLB. Bottmline: Ranveer was as responsible for those hits as the other two. No one gave him charity for it. Jayeshbhai, 83, Cirkus should establish him further.
Ayushman is an average actor with great script sense. I think he has potential for growth. One of the bad things current audience does to performers is expect perfection from the get-go. There is no room allowed for learning. Article 15 and Andhadhun showed Ayushman can do different roles. I don't know his upcoming movies but hope he continues to bring entertainers to us, along with some social messaging. And I hope those successes allow him space to experiment.
These three not the only people who're in BW's future. As already mentioned, Rajkumar Rao is not going anywhere. Nor are the likes of Tiger Shroff and Varun Dhawan.
