Salman Khan calls Ranveer Singh a superstar

At a public event recently, Salman Khan shouted out Ranveer Singh’s name alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Kumar’s as the star most copied by newcomers.

While the veracity of the above statement is debatable (Do Varun Dhawan  or Ranbir Kapoor copy any of the above?), what can be said most confidently about the above selection of superstars by the ultimate superstar is that Ranveer Singh’s inclusion in the list was no coincidence but  a sign of Salman’s  thawing and moving towards a rapprochement with Deepika Padukone.

For some baffling reason, Salman and Deepika have refused to work together in the past but now the equation between them is about to change. And the one bringing about that change is a mutual friend Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is close to both the stars and would like nothing better than to see them come together.
