Salman Khan doesn’t like to be overshadowed by his heroines? - Page 2

Salman became like this only post Wanted IMHO.

Otherwise heroines did overshadow him in HAHK, Pyar Kiya toh darna kya, Saajan, Jeet, HSSH, HDDCS, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Har dil jo pyar karega, Phir Milenge, Maine Pyar Kyu Kiya, Biwi No. 1, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge etc.

From Wanted in 2009, Salman began to look for scripts centered solely around him and has avoided multi starrers too, usually avoids top heroines as well. Except Katrina.

He may have worked with Asin, Ayesha, Jacqueline or Sonakshi but I never saw him with other top heroines post 2009.

But I think he is still better than Aamir who avoided letting heroine overshadow him even in 90s. Aamir tolerated heroine having meatier role only in Dil, HHRPK, Rangeela, Raja Hindustani and maybe Fanaa. Otherwise he barely works with any top heroine nor allows heroine to have many scenes or much of a role in his films. Most of his post 1996 films like Sarfarosh, Lagaan, TZP, RDB, Dangal, DCH, Ghulam, 3 Idiots etc had nothing much to do for heroine. He is perhaps the only star to have given blockbusters like Dangal without a conventional mainstream heroine. He rarely repeats heroines either. I guess Manisha, Juhi, Katrina, Rani, Kareena, Karishma, Raveena are the only heroines with who he worked more than once. Most likely to sideline heroine is Aamir out of all superstars.

That’s sounds like something they’d write in Aamirs high school year book

An it seems true. I guess some people don’t notice as his volume of films are much less than Salman

If there is one star who has shown you can give superhits without heroine or solid villain or whole khandaan as supporting cast, it is Aamir. His films especially since 1999 are all about himself and the story/message.

Mostly due to his doing less films, people do not realise how he usually picks talented but non threatening actors to go along with him. Actors who never overshadow him in any way. A Sharman, Darsheel, Sakshi, Fatima, Gracy, Madhavan, Siddharth, Kunal do not overshadow him.

Nor does that guy who played Ghajini.

Note how he has never really acted with likes of Amrish Puri or Danny either. Nor did any multi starrer with an equally big star like he did AAA with Salman in 1994 or Ajay in 1997 (Ishq).

He chooses theatre or TV or regional actors or medium level stars to work with. There is no Aamir film after 90s that had solid role for heroine except Fanaa.

He had never worked with Amitabh or Dharam either nor had films where Jaya or Hema played any senior role.

For ma roles too he takes theatre or TV level actresses. Not stars. I was surprised when Waheeda Rehman was seen in RDB or Amitabh was seen in his last film (forgot its name).

Otherwise Aamir does not have reputation of working with equal or bigger stars.

No male actor does.....only SRK had/has the guts to let the women overpower him even when he was at the peak of his career....example....look at Deepu's role in OSO....who gives a newbie a double role...best dialogues, songs...and an almost equal length of screen time....who does.....even in RNBDJ...look at newbie Anushka's role......and this was at the peak of his career when no body would dared to go against his wishes...😎

The heroines make his films tolerable.

This is why I prefer his 90s and 2000s movies where the heroines have equal status if not bigger roles than him.

In the last decade, Katrina is the only actress he's given big roles to.

I think Salman and Aamir have done the right thing by reducing their dependence on co stars and changing their 90s typical romantic star image. This has ensured they have better chances in older age. And do not have to worry about looking older than heroine or playing lover to girls half their age.

I believe all older stars should reduce dependence on co stars or romantic roles for longevity as leads. Rekha also did films like Khoon Bhari Maang, Phool Baney Angaara from mid to late 80s which did not require her to do too many scenes with hero and did not lead to comparisons or discussions on whether she looked older or unsuitable for roles or not. Those female cop or widow avenging death of husband etc type roles gave her hits and also kept her relevant when other actresses of her generation were beginning to get mom/MIL roles.

SRK may give space to heroines but he also gets flak for looking older than young female co stars or tapping into nostalgia of pairing with old co stars like Kajol.

Rajinikanth's success as male lead even at 60 plus has shown a hero could do better if he had films all about himself and marginal dependence on other co stars.

I feel all older stars should try to reduce dependence on co stars and romantic stories/characters. Rani is also doing it right with her Mardaani series and films like NOKJ that do not require her to be paired with any hero. Vidya also strategised it right by doing stuff like Sherni, Kahani, NOKJ which require no hero nor require her to play conventional romantic female lead.
