3. Javed Akhtar to write a film for Ranbir Kapoor after Animal

Veteran screenwriter Javed Akhtar was recently asked if Ranbir Kapoor will never be a star like Amitabh Bachchan. In an interview with Indian Express, Javed expressed his views on how today's 'angry young man' went out of the scene.

Referring to Big B's roles as an 'angry young man' in films, Javed shared that he had pain behind his anger. The screenwriter expressed that there is no hurt but anger left, which is "crude."

He added that in today's times, there aren't great characters for great stars. Reacting to if Ranbir won't be able to match Big B's stardom after Animal, the screenwriter-lyricist denied it, saying that he may write a film for him.
