Not Aamir, Shah Rukh, or Salman Khan, but Bollywood puts more than 500 crores money on this star
There is a saying in Bollywood that the industry is running because of Khan superstars Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan. These are the most bankable stars of Bollywood, rather after there Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar who are much senior and capable of doing 100 crores film. But still, the producers and filmmakers try to put their money on the Khans because in somehow they are a guarantee of success at the box office.
In the recent past, we have seen even the superstars have got failed at the box office, like Salman Khan in Tubelight, Shah Rukh Khan continuously after Raees and Jab Harry Met Sejal. So with this, the producers are being assured that not the stars (expect Salman Khan) these are the projects that had worked at the box office.
If we see announcements in the Bollywood upcoming movies then we will found there are several projects that have been announced with the highest budget. The interesting thing is that they have not focused to put their money on any Khan but on the projects.
There was a time when newly superstar Ranbir Kapoor was having a bad time at the box office when his films were getting bombed at the box office. After Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Ranbir continuously gave back to back flop films like Besharam, Roy, and Bombay Velvet. Even if we exclude Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, then other two films Tamasha and Jagga Jasoos were also not good at the box office.
However, Ranbir Kapoor who was mainly planning to be classy not massy has changed his perception and now he is looking for massy films. In his recent few announcements, Ranbir announced some high budget and mainstream cinematic films.
Rockstar actor is all set for the release of his first biopic film in his career Sanju made on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt. The interesting thing is that till now the film was considered as the biggest film of his career, but before the release of it, Ranbir surprised his fans with other biggies in his bag.
It is known that for the first time in his career Ranbir Kapoor is going to play a superhero on screen and it will be directed by the blockbuster filmmaker Ayan Mukerji. Ayan Mukerji is planning trilogy as Brahmastra and the Dharma Productions already has put their more 250 crores on this trilogy.
Then Ranbir is going to be seen in Shamshera another biggie from YRF, Yash Raj Films already is producing Thugs of Hindostan with Aamir Khan and now they have announced another big project and that too for Ranbir Kapoor. This shows Ranbir has proved his ability to perform at the box office.

Recently, Director Luv Ranjan announced his next film after a massive success of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. Bollywood stars Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor will once again collaborate for Luv Ranjan's next. They were last seen together in Rajneeti.
This proves that how the Bollywood has found its new superstar in Ranbir Kapoor and how Ranbir is going to charm at the box office with his performances. This is surely a great move from Ranbir's side to go massy this time not classy.
