Mumbai, November 06: Ranbir kapoor may be a new kid on the block when compared to veterans like Aamir, Shah Rukh and Sanjay Dutt but the young Kapoor has beaten all of them when it come to public relations.
The Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is on top and Shah Rukh at the bottom according to the latest result of a celebrity survey which reveals that Ranbir has pipped SRK to the post in terms of PR strategy and popularity.
While Ranbir has got the most number of votes, which is 39 out of 40, Shah Rukh, the ultimate marketing man, has managed a paltry 4 out of 40. But then again, this has been the year where he hasn’t had much to market!
The question is will he reclaim the spot next year because it’s for the first time that Shah Rukh’s PR skills have ever been called into question, release or no release. But SRK has the power of reclaiming it as his most awaited My Name is Khan is set to release.
But you can’t write him off just yet, because the same person who put Ranbir on top of the game will probably make sure the Badshah gets his game back- since they do share a publicist!
But it’s not just Ranbir who’s left Shah Rukh in PR nowhere land, arch-rivals Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have also featured higher on the list and paunch or no paunch Sanjay Dutt has no need to feel blue coming in a close second to Ranbir.
Looks like SRK needs to start flashing those dimples and making comments on the number game once again after all it would be a shame if he were beaten at his own game!
