Actor
Saqib
Saleem
says
he
is
jealous
of
emerging
star
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
attributes
his
meteoric
rise
in
Bollywood
to
his
ability
to
be
both
a
star
and
an
actor.
Saqib,
who
has
starred
in
four
films
since
making
his
Bollywood
debut
in
2011
with
'Mujhse
Fraaandship
Karoge',
feels
Ranbir's
film
resume
is
to
die
for
as
it
consists
of
commercial
as
well
as
off-beat
movies.
"I
am
jealous
of
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
his
filmography.
On
one
hand,
he
does
a
'Barfi!'
and
on
the
other
'Yeh
Jawani
Hai
Deewani'.
He
is
the
perfect
combination
of
a
star
and
actor," Saqib
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
The
25-year-old
actor
also
showered
praise
on
his
contemporaries
like
Varun
Dhawan,
Arjun
Kapoor
and
National
award-winning
actor
Rajkummar
Rao.
"I
was
blown
away
by
Varun's
performance
in
'Main
Tera
Hero'.
I
called
him
up
and
said,
'Bro,
you
killed
it!' I
think
he
is
a
full
entertainment
package,"
he
said,
adding
that
he
liked
Arjun
Kapoor
in
'2
States'
and
Rajkummar
Rao
in
'Shahid'.
'Hawaa
Hawaai',
directed
by
Amole
Gupte,
the
actor
played
the
role
of
a
skating
coach
to
Partho
Gupte's
character.
When
asked
if
he
was
apprehensive
to
play
a
character,
who
is
not
the
lead,
Saqib
said,
"It
depends
on
how
one
sees
things.
I
hate
to
compare
my
role
with
Partho's
but
I
would
say
that
my
role
is
as
good
as
his.
The
dream
he
sees
of
being
a
skater
in
the
film,
becomes
my
dream
too.
I
never
had
any
doubt
regarding
that.
