Now, let’s all just address the elephant in the room. It is no secret that new-generation star Ranbir Kapoor has been facing quite a tough time with on the work front for the past few years.
His last cinematic outing Jagga Jasoos – which was being touted as a landmark film in the new generation star’s acting career – failed miserably at the box office. It also spurred doubt and criticism of his ability to score a hit now.
Anushka Sharma mighty mad at Ranbir Kapoor?
Needless to say, both Ranbir and his parents have been quite worried about his future of late. And recent reports suggest that the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil star, on the advice of his mother Neetu Kapoor, has decided to seek divine intervention to beat the jinx off his acting career, stated Yahoo!
Ranbir – who is known to have stellar hits like Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani and Rockstar to his name – was hit hard with the big-budget flop that was Bombay Velvet. Its failure rocked his career to an extent that he is still struggling to recover from the blow.
Subsequent films like Besharam, Tamasha and Roy also failed to rake in much moolah at the box office. Not to mention, Ranbir was a facing tough time in his personal life as well, especially after parting ways with his girlfriend of six years Katrina Kaif last year.
While Karan Johar – the de-facto godfather of star kids in Bollywood – did try to lift his career with last year’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Ranbir was slapped with yet another disaster in the form of Anurag Basu's Jagga Jasoos, which took his career graph further downhill.
I'm quite detached from success, failure: Ranbir Kapoor
Now, in general, Ranbir’s father – veteran actor Rishi Kapoor – never lets a chance to accuse film-makers Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap (the latter directed Bombay Velvet) of ruining his career. But mama Neetu is trying to find different ways to put together the missing pieces of her son's fortune.
If the industry grapevine is to be believed, she has sought the help of an astrologer who has advised Ranbir to wear special gemstone rings that might eventually help him steady his rocky career. In fact, Ranbir has been seen sporting gemstone rings when he was recently clicked by shutterbugs at Mumbai airport too.
While it is not sure whether the rings will bring him good fortune, Ranbir would be hoping to hit the ball out of the stadium with Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming biopic of Sanjay Dutt. Also in the pipeline for him is Ayan Mukherji's superhero film Dragon, where Ranbir will be sharing space with Alia Bhatt. Could this be the good luck charm Bollywood’s favourite chocolate boy needs? Only time will tell…
