What people are saying
Two different kinds of performance. You cannot compare any of them. Both are fantastic actors. One has got a tremendous amount of energy. One has got a tremendous amount of intensity. Both have different styles of acting.
Especially for Ranveer in Dhurandhar, he had to control all his energy.
He is very secure as an actor and in that role in Dhurandhar.
Correct, well said.
