I don't think it's as simple as that.

I think there are people who are reigning box office kings/queens and then there are those who are popular and survive on the basis of star quality/talent.

Shahid is not a superstar, but he survives because people seem to have some belief in his acting abilities and maybe he is well-connected.

People like AB Jr get work because they're star kids, not for any other reason.

There are people like Aish who have a timeless star quality to them that holds the public's attention.

Then there are the Khans/Akshay who are not only box office stars but much loved and well-regarded by the public.

If you're reasonably priced and a known face, you'll keep getting work. Flops don't do much except lower an actors asking price. But of course, there is a limit. For example Saif Ali Khan has finally run out of lifelines and except for a multi-starrer has no work.


In addition to Rangoon, Chef remake is up next, and Race 3 is also confirmed with him
Chef remake starts in September.
Film's spokesperson
Apparently, even before the final handshake with Favreau in Los Angeles, Saif was the only Bollywood actor they had in mind to play the title role. "He embodies the character. He has an uber cool attitude that appeals to urban sensibilities and the requisite experience to pull off this multilayered role. He is a father himself and is at the right age to step into Favreau's shoes," reasons the source, saying the film will be shot over a span of three months across India and one major European city. "Right now they are getting together all the ingredients before they start the cooking."
