Like the Khans, but I do not want to see them romance Alia or younger 😵 so at some point and soon, like in the next 5 years they have to go. They are 47.
Problem is, there is a huge gap between them and Ranbir's generation, what should be the in between decade of stars most of them have crashed and burned. Out of the people who debuted after the Khans like Bobby, Abhi, Akshay Khanna and Rahul Khanna, Vivek, Uday, Tusshar, Saif, Ajay Devgan, Shahid Kapoor only Hrithik has a career to even challenge them and Akki. Ajay is not in their league stardom wise. Who is left ? Saif ? Nawab is barely hanging as an actor, he has a better track record as a producer and Shahid is one flop away from forever going.
Ranbir will be a superstar someday, but not with a 7 year career, everyone else has even less. The Khans were not superstars in 7 years. He needs time to build a base. The Khans can bring in the masses. Even films like JaiHo, RaOne, JTHJ and they were terrible can bring in 100 crores. It is because of the fanbase the Khans have. They each have 25+ years of a career. To stay that long is nothing short of remarkable.
Hollywood is changing, the era of the superstar like a Tom Cruise is ending. Audiences and tastes are changing, So too I think probably BW and it will depend more on the content of film than the name behind it. But the Khans and Akki are not going away any time soon.
