Entertainment News Live Updates: Anurag Kashyap Opens Up About Ranbir’s Toughest Career Moment
But here’s the thing, success isn’t always a straight line, especially in Bollywood. Around 2015, Ranbir hit a rough patch. Movies like Bombay Velvet, Besharam, and Jagga Jasoos flopped hard. And no it wasn’t just about the box office numbers. Those failures mess with your head and put you in a place where you can do nothing but doubt yourself.
Anurag Kashyap, who directed Bombay Velvet, talked about how Ranbir went through a phase of serious self-doubt. Imagine putting everything into a movie and then watching it tank. It shakes your confidence.
Anurag even said he feels partly responsible because, in filmmaking, it’s a team effort. But in the end, it’s the actor who usually takes the blame. That kind of pressure can make anyone second guess themselves. Ranbir’s always been the guy who throws himself 100% into his roles, trusting his directors, but after those flops, he got careful about what films to pick next.
