Askmen India Debate: Ranbir Kapoor vs Ranveer Singh - Who's the Better Actor?

We know it's difficult to choose between Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, given that both actors have proved their acting prowess with award-winning performances. What's even more commendable is that these superstars carved their niche in the industry that was and is still being ruled by superstars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar, for almost three decades.

Both actors have a few commonalities - killer looks, talent, the ability to push the envelope and the will to experiment with roles and scripts. So we're back to asking you, which of the two will you choose? Let's take a closer look at their performances and of course, pedigree.

Ranbir Kapoor - The Actor With The Silver Spoon

Given that he's a star kid, he started his career with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya. The movie bombed at the box office, but the actor was commended for his acting skills. Later, his movies like Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year, Rockstar, Bombay Velvet, Tamasha and Jagga Jasoos, also under-performed, but the actor managed to impress everyone with his power-packed performances. He also starred in Wake Up Sid, Barfi!, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani and Tamasha, which were critically acclaimed.

RANVEER SINGH - The Actor Who Manifested His Dreams

Coming to the very versatile Ranveer Singh, the actor made a noteworthy debut into Bollywood with Band Baaja Baaraat. Though Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl, Kill Dill and Befikre tanked at the box office, the actor delivered hits like Paadmavat, Bajirao Mastani and Ram Leela, over the last eight years. He also garnered a huge fan following with Padmavaat and Bajirao Mastani. His current release Simmba, opposite Sara Ali Khan, is also doing well at the box office. Ranveer is now gearing up for his next release Gully Boy opposite Alia Bhatt, and going by audience sentiment, this movie seems like it will captures hearts, too.
