'Ranbir's fan following has increased with Rockstar'

With rave reviews and great box office collections, Rockstar seems to be an important film in Ranbir Kapoor's [ Images ] career. But is it his biggest hit yet? We decided to ask the trade pundits.

"It is biggest sole opener in Ranbir Kapoor's career. But Rajneeti was a bigger hit," says media professional and industry observer Abhijit Mhamunkar.

He claims that Ranbir's fan following has increased because of the response the film has generated. "Now, Ranbir is above his contemporaries like Shahid Kapoor [Images ] or Imran Khan [ Images ]. They have not generated such an opening in any of their films so far. At the top of the list are the Khans, then comes Ajay Devgn [Images ] and Hrithik Roshan [ Images ]. After that is Ranbir," he says.
