SRK even said, he was very unconventional b/c Sunny Deol-types used to be popular and SRK wasn't a muscular, karate fighting dishum-dishum hero...he was the romantic. But the fact that he is unconventional helped open doors for many other unconventional looknig heroes. Emmy is a great example of this. Rani, PC, Kareena all rejected the role opposite him and a few blockbusters later he's working with the A-list of leading ladies. Times a changing and I love it!
Well even Aamir and Salman weren't muscular looking when they debuted but at least they were pretty faces and better groomed, especially Aamir. 😆 The heroines mostly had a problem because SRK wasn't good looking at all with his scrawny built, out of control hair, etc...he didn't fit in muscular stuff like Sunny Deol and wasn't pretty boy cute like Aamir either. 😆
But I agree, Emraan's rise reminds me of SRK's in that sense too. All the A-lister heroines didn't wanna work with him because of his image & now look! Vidya's done back to back films with him, Kareena got Deepika replaced to do this film..and all the big PH's are signing him too.. 👏
