I somewhat agree and disagree with everyone here 😆
Firstly,Hrithik,Abhishek and John are upcomming stars,and superstardom is imminent for Hrithik and Abhishek ...John,Cant really predict as of now whether he would be a superstar 😕
But still,these 3 have a long way to go before they can dethrone the Khans....SRk and Aamir YET deliver hits,Both had a reasonably good year at the BO with RDB,Fanaa,KANK,and Don being hits....Agreed 2006 belonged to Hrithik,but he needs to be consistent with his Hits before we can say he has taken over the Khans....I remember reading similar articles when KHPH released,the Fourth Estate pitted Hrithik against SRK(which was unfair) and then zealously brought him down when a couple of movies flopped!..If God forbid Jodha Akbar and KT flop,then the media would bring him down with the same fervour as they are hyping him now.....Ditto with Abhishek...He was so overhyped last year(make no mistake,2005 belonged to Abhishek..He was the only actor with 4 hits a ka Bunty Babli,Sarkarr,Dus and Bluffmaster),and this year he is in the news more for his dalliance with Ash,than for his acting(which was under the butcher's knife)....For all we know,2007 might belong to ABhi again...And not to forget,the Khans arent yet pass,they are very much there kicking ass!
Regarding the talent of the Khans,Salman isnt a great actor(very charitably put),Saif is slowly finding his rythm and he can definitely ACT👏,SRk can act,but his acting is very much clichd,and the staleness stinks 🤢 ....Aamir though is mightily talented,he doesnt get stuck in a rut and do only formula films and his acting is top notch👏...He makes good films,which work!...His forthcoming films ---One based on the farmer's plight,another one about an impaired child,and if he really goes ahead and makes a remake of the Tamil Film Gajini,then Boy,no one can stop him from winning awards galore,for that role is such a phenomenal one....I believe the movie Gajini was a masterpeice,a role played to perfection by the protagonist,and apparently,Aamir's keen on roping in the same director!!...Aamir would be the least affected by the current crop of upcoming actors,as he was never in the race for superstardom,and always works based on his own rules and ethics!!
Not to forget,Akshay Kumar...He's unarguably the most underrated actor,he has delivered as many hits as SRk has,and is consistent too with his hits....He's a good actor,as well as a commercially viable star,highly versatile and can dabble with any genre....Hrithik and Abhishek are miles upon miles from being a superstar,they can reach there if they chose the right scripts and strike a chord with all sections of the audience,but as of now...They can be at the most called A list actors with a truckload of potential..Hrithik is ahead of Abhishek as of today,but the tables can turn anytime...Though I sincerely hope Hrithik scales the heights,as he's the most deserving,hard working and sincere of the lot!😃👏
