I remember my parents bringing two things from India when we vacationed. Masalas and Movies (VHS) đ. We even had to convert them to play them in the US and had a huge collection growing up.
IMO the Khans are the last generation of stars to get the kind of loyalty from fans by which I mean they pestered parents to take them to the cinema, bought magazines for pictures and interviews, stood in line and bought CDs and tapes of movie songs, VHS tapes and then DVDs. Those were the times.
Now every song is available on You Tube for promo, a few clicks and you read an interview, there is a gif for everything and you can watch a movie the second day for free if you are persistent from the comfort of your own house. đ
In that scenario, I think there will not be superstars like the Khans in the future not because no one is capable, but a generational shift has happened and the way people consume movies has changed. Now a tween can tweet an SRK or Salman, growing up I would have fainted if I had that opportunity..đł đ. There are no superstars in HW now, not like Tom Cruise was. So everything does change.
I however do think Ranbir and Ranveer will stick around longest. Beyond that I have no clue.
