For Ranbir Kapoor, superstardom took just five years

For Ranbir Kapoor, superstardom took just five years
Just five years in the industry and Ranbir is already zooming ahead of the Khans.
Mumbai: Rishi Kapoor might have been appreciated for his chocolate boy looks, his style and his acting calibre, but unfortunately he was never elevated to superstar status. Looks like his son Ranbir will compensate for all that and more.

Even though Ranbir's debut film Saawariya didn't do well at the box-office, everyone knew that the actor had a special spark. But no one, perhaps, imagined he would grow at the kind of speed that he is growing.

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani is just the 10th film of Ranbir's five year long career. And, if rumours are to be believed, a lot of money is being offered by the distributors for the rights of the film. Five years and nine films after Saawariya, which failed at the box office, Ranbir has slowly and steadily gained the confidence of the audience.

Sources inform us that his next film Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani is already being picked up at a record amount, with a staggering Rs 3.15 crore being mentioned as minimum guarantee for the film in the Central Province region. A source says, "The last film that was picked up in this circuit was at least a crore less than Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani, such amount of price is unheard of.."

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh: says, "With due respect to other actors, the kind of charisma and charm Ranbir possess no one else does. The breath in which we take names of Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman, we should now add the name of Ranbir -- just that he is from the current generation. He is loved by people ranging from the age of six to 60. Also don't be surprised that Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani would take the biggest opening till now for 2013."Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 3 was also sold at approx Rs 3 crore in the same region. The film is a successful franchise and brings back Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan.

Ra.One was sold for Rs 3 crore, given SRK has been a part of the industry for over 20 years. Ra.One was an expensive film.
