quite prepare him for the fact that it was both a box-office and critical disaster. Sanjay's much-hyped film left blue-blooded Ranbir with nothing more than a ‘towel dance' to his merit. But the star remained undeterred, following up with Bachna Ae Haseeno - in which he rehashed his dad's famous movie song, and romanced not one but three women.

And even though 2010 was a critically unstable year, with one hit (Raajneeti) and one flop (Anjaana Anjaani), he's hoping for another go at the title later this year, with Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar and Anurag Basu's Barfee. 2. Work with up-and-coming directors Ranbir has shown himself willing to work with any director, as long as they come up witha great script and a challenging role. And sticking to the new crop of up-and-coming directors has paid off, as it was newcomer (and now best bud) Ayan Mukerjee who gave him his first hit flick with Wake Up Sid. And although his contemporary, Imran Khan, is banking heavily on his famed uncle Aamir Khan winning him plum projects, Ranbir has refused to let his parents do that, insisting, "Many times I've said ‘no' to films, not directors." guy in Anjaana Anjaani. This strategy ensured neither he, nor his fans, get bored. And that's not all, he's even striking out into unchartered territory with his item jig in Vikas Bahl's Chillar Party.
