Rabnir Kapoor refuses to work with Shahrukh Khan

Ranbir Kapoor has refused to do a film with Bollywood badshah Shahrukh Khan. The reason: Ranbir feels that SRK will overshadow him since he is a bigger star than him on any day.

According to reliable sources, Karan Johar, who is friends with Shahrukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, recently offered Ranbir a script that had SRK along with him. Though Ranbir liked the script but he was not keen to do a film with SRK at this moment.

It s learnt that Ranbir is playing his cards carefully. The actor does not want to do multi-hero projects since he feels that it can overshadow his performance. Moreover, Ranbir has a few films lined up in which he is the sole hero, so before he decides to share the screen space with SRK, Ranbir wants to become a bigger star to match the competition.
