I feel bad if compared with Khans, says Ranbir Kapoor

ranbirRanbir Kapoor does not prefer being billed as the next superstar and feels it is unjustified to be equated with the three Khans who have ruled the marquee for over two decades.
Ranbir made his debut in 2007 with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saawariya', which did not do well at the box office. But the actor went on to give strong performances in films like 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', 'Wake Up Sid', 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', 'Rocket Singh', 'Rajneeti', 'Rockstar', 'Barfi' and his just released 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', which became a part of 100 crore club.
"I am not here in the industry to beat anyone. I am here to do good work and make a name for myself, earn respect. I don't believe in this term of being the next superstar. It means you are not a superstar but you can become one. I think anyone can come after me and become a superstar," Ranbir told in an interview.
The 30-year-old actor also feels that it is not justified to compare him with the three Khans --Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman.

"If I am compared with Khans I feel bad as they have worked hard for 25 years... they get so much love, respect from everyone. While I have just completed five years or so in the industry may be after 25 years I will answer this question. I am no where close to them, there can't be any comparison."
"I don't have a personality like Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan that I can be myself and the film will be a huge hit. I have to be a character," he added.
Since starting his career in Bollywood, Ranbir has appeared only in ten full-fledged films.
The actor says he is not multi-talented to do more than one project at a time. "Today a film takes 120 days or so, I am not multi- talented to do two films together. If we have four films in a year then audience will get bored and our career will be finished in five years. I feel there has to be mystery attached to an actor and that is why I am not there on social networking sites," he said.
The actor feels that today the focus is on look of the character. And considering he is a method actor, he likes to focus on one film at a time. Ranbir feels fortunate to work with different directors and play interesting roles. But he does credit himself to have understood the right opportunities.
"I am grateful that I got chance to play wonderful characters. I am thankful to all the directors for choosing me in their films. I am lucky roles were written for me. I grabbed the opportunities. I am motivated and charged about going ahead. There is still a long way to go," he said.
He will be seen next in Abhinav Kashyap's 'Besharam' where he is teaming up with his parents - Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, besides Indian-Australian actress Pallavi Sharda. The other project is Anurag Kashyap's 'Bombay Velvet' with Anushka Sharma and a just announced project with Karan Johar.

Patna, Jul 29: BJP MLA Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu, cousin of Sushant Singh Rajput, on Tuesday said that a huge amount of money has been transferred into the account of actress Rhea Chakraborty from the actor's account.

"An FIR has been filed against actress Rhea Chakraborty by the father of Sushant Singh as a huge amount of money has been transferred into her account and they both have joint accounts for some companies through which cheating has been done from her side," Bablu said.

"This is the issue of probe and police will go there and investigate the matter after that everything will be revealed," he added.

He also said that Karan Johar should also be called in for questioning by the Mumbai Police in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput's death case.

The statement was given in the backdrop of several top film personalities being questioned in connection with the case.

On July 28, an FIR has been registered against actor Rhea Chakraborty under various sections including abetment of suicide on the complaint of Sushant Singh Rajput's father Krishna Kishor Singh, the police said on Tuesday.

It said that a four-member team has been sent to Mumbai following registration of FIR.
"A four-member team has been sent to Mumbai. The team will collect case diary and other important documents from Mumbai Police," Sanjay Singh, Inspector General, Patna Central Zone said.

In the complaint made to Rajeev Nagar police station in-charge, KK Singh alleged that Rhea Chakraborty and her relatives "committed fraud" and "pressurised the actor for financial gains".

New Delhi, Aug 5: Playback singer S P Balasubrahmanyam on Wednesday confirmed testing positive for COVID-19 with 'mild' symptoms.

The 74-year-old musician shared the information through a video message posted on his official Facebook page.

In the video, the singer detailed about having a little "discomfort" for two days, stating he had chest congestion along with cold and on-off fever, which led him to get tested for the virus.

However, he also mentioned that he could have stayed at home in self-quarantine, as advised, but did not want to put his family in danger, and hence got admitted by his own choice, to recover quickly.

"I am in good hand, I am in good health. Nobody has to worry about this. The fever has subsided, and in two days I'll be discharged and I'll be home. Thanks for the concern," he said in the video message.

The song is set on the optimistic theme that sends out the message that the country will smile again if the country supports each other in the current crisis situation.

An initiative of Akshay Kumar's Cape of Good Films, the video of the song features all the lead actors of the industry including Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar, Sidharth Malhotra, Vicky Kaushal, Raj Kumar Rao, Ananya Panday, Kriti Sanon, Jacky Bhagnani, and Rakul Preet.
Curated by Jackky Bhagnani's music label JJust Music and composed and sung by the talented Vishal Mishra, 'Muskurayega India' is a symbol of India's spirit of solidarity, battling against the coronavirus pandemic.

The soulful song penned by Kaushal Kishore also features cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and famous Mumbai based Radio Jockey Malishka.
The video of the song starts with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's televised address in which he is seen assuring the country that every Indian will come out victorious from the coronavirus crisis.

The video then features all the prominent faces of the cinema industry giving out the message of hope from their balconies, terrace and other spots of their houses.

The song urges people to stay home and support the people who are working to combat the virus, like police officials, and medical practitioners on duty amid the lockdown.

A locked-down view of some of the most prominent spots in the country like the India Gate, Hawa Mahal, and Mumbai's beaches are also featured in the video.

The song also spreads the message of social distancing and washing of hands to keep the infection away.

The video ends with a rhythm of the national anthem with the celebrities standing still to honour it and finally fades away with the Indian national flag.

As the country battles the novel coronavirus, the song is an attempt to uplift the spirit of togetherness of every Indian during the unprecedented crisis.
