Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh have both impressed audiences with their performances in recent years, with Animal and Dhurandhar emerging as major box-office successes. But when asked to choose between the two actors for the more impactful performance, Varun Dhawan did not hesitate to pick a winner.
Varun Dhawan picks between Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor
The latest episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9 featured Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan as guests, with Arjun Kapoor joining them for the rapid-fire round. During the segment, Karan Johar asked Varun, "Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar or Ranbir Kapoor in Animal, which one is a more impactful performance?" Without hesitation, Varun replied, "I would definitely say Ranveer in Dhurandhar."
Interestingly, in the first episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9, Karan was asked to choose between Ranbir and Ranveer to decide who was the more versatile actor. He responded, "You don't choose between brilliance."
Ranbir delivered one of the most talked-about performances of his career with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal (2023). Playing Ranvijay Singh, a man whose complicated relationship with his father drives him towards violence and revenge, the actor showcased an intense side of his acting. Despite the film facing criticism for its portrayal of women and glorification of toxic masculinity, his performance received widespread attention. Animal also became a major box-office success, collecting ₹915 crore worldwide.
Now, Ranbir is awaiting the release of Ramayana, a film mounted on a massive budget of ₹4000 crore. The mythological epic, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, also stars Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and Ravie Dubey, among others. The film will be released in two parts, with the first one releasing on November 5, 2026.
