For the outsiders, Hindi film industry aka Bollywood used to be known by the name of Shah Rukh Khan. Later, with the resurrection of Aamir and Salman Khan in the last one decade or so, Bollywood has started being called as the 'industry of Khan Trio'. Sadly for SRK and his fans, it may soon be called 'Khan Duo' as his fame and stardom is depreciating from film after film.
Its hard for even movie buffs to tell the last true hit of SRK. Its Chennai Express, which released way back in 2013. In the last four years, SRK had 5 prime releases - Happy New Year, Dilwale, Fan, Raees and the latest, 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. None of these films could justify his global stardom and ended up as huge disappointments for trade, fans and also the actor himself. Going by the early reviews and word of mouth, SRK's today release 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' may end up as one of his biggest failures.
On the other hand, in the recent few years, Aamir and Salman have emerged as box office rulers. With films like Dangal, PK, 3 Idiots etc. Aamir has become the brand ambassador of content-rich films which also strike gold at box office. Salman has emerged as the darling of buyers and masses as he consistently scored box office hits despite criticism related to content.
Talking about future, Aamir has an interesting magnum opus, 'Thugs of Hindostan' and Salman has a potential action blockbuster 'Tiger Zinda Hai' in pipeline. SRK on the other hand has an experimental film titled 'Dwarf', where he is playing a dwarf.
SRK urgently needs to introspect his strategy and choice of films as his stardom is fading with each new release whereas his competitors, the young crop of actors and Southern magnum opuses are on the rise.
