Ranveer Is Reaping The Harvest Of Ranbir’s Mistakes

 Besides their similar-sounding names,Ranveer and Ranbir have  a  lot in common. Many  of the roles that have gone  into making Ranveer Singh a superstar had first been  offered  to Ranbir Kapoor, the latest being Gully Boy, a film that  the brilliant director Zoya Akhtar was keen to  do with Ranbir.

Apparently  Ranbir had a headspace  for only one  bio-pic and that was  the awful SanjayDutt bio-pic a frivolous fickle shallow  exercise in glorification.

Ranveer  who had earlier  worked to tremendous advantage with Zoya in Dil DhadakneDo(            that too  was offered to  Ranbir when Zoya Akhtar wanted to make it with Ranbirand Kareena Kapoor Khan as  siblings)  hip hopped right  into Gully Boy.

The rest is hysteria.

In  2018 Ranveer had  two blockbusters . While one  of them Simmba was written specially  for  Ranveer,  Padmaavat would have  gone to Ranbir  if all had been well between  the  actor  and director Sanjay  Bhansali. But after  Ranbir’s debut film Saawariya  Ranbir, for reasons  best known to him, decided not  to work with Bhansali. Bhansali offered Ranbir Ram Leela,Bajirao Mastani and  Padmaavat . Ranbir refused  all three films.

Says  a source close to  the developments, “Ranveer is reaping the harvests  of  Ranbir’s mistakes, and that includes Deepika Padukone  whom Ranbir lost and  Ranveer won. The game works both ways. Ranveer overnight  lost  his  role to Ranbir  in Anurag Kashyap’sBombay Velvet. It was  a thundering flop.It’s almost  like  a divine  light  is  guiding  Ranveerto make all  the  right  moves.
