Ranbir 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.

Got-it

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 PTI in an interview.

"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.
