Big B On Top

Bachchan seems to have beaten the heroes of the younger generation – Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.

Actor Amitabh Bachchan seems to have beaten the heroes of the younger generation – Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, at least on the small screen. Bachchan, who is doing a phenomenal job as the host of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' had tough competition what with the popular Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar also occupying prime time slots on other channels.

The presence of big stars as hosts on the small screen paved way for a mini TRP battle, and Big B seems to be leading so far. According to reports, 'KBC' - Sony - opened with a 6.2 Television Viewership Rating (TVR), while Salman's 'Bigg Boss' - Colors - fell short and clocked 4.8 TVRs. Akshay Kumar's 'Master Chef' - Star Plaus - failed to add the much desired spice in comparison with 2.6 TVRs.

A unit member of Star Plus' 'Master Chef' said, "It's not a loss for us. Of course, every reality show has different sensibilities and formats, and the three that you are comparing cater to widely different range of target groups, each with a completely different set of demographics. Every show has its own place, every host his own seat and every channel its own goal."

Ranbir Kapoor have the quality to become a next Amitabh?

Will Ranbir be the next Amitabh Bachchan??

Now, this is something anyone would think twice before proclaiming but Director Siddharth Anand whose next film Anjaana Anjaani stars Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra says Ranbir has all it takes to be the next Amitabh Bachchan of Bollywood, after working with Ranbir Kapoor in two films.

“He (Ranbir) has got everything it takes to be the complete Hindi film hero that Bachchan was,” Anand is quoted as saying by a news agency.

According to Anand, Ranbir does one action film well and that is it! he is sure to become the next Bachchan.

“The day Ranbir does an action film and does it well, he has the potential to fill the void that Bachchan created,”

The two had earlier worked together in Yashraj production Bachna Ae Haseeno.

Siddharth adds, “Ranbir is the perfect guy to play Anthony, he can play coolie, he can play the characters Bachchan played in his prime. There is no one else but him,” .

Do you agree with Anand??? Can Ranbir be the next Big B???
