SRK's career without KJo and YRF - what would it be? - Page 5

Especially since Dharma in 90s was low level.

Karan Johar would have made KKHH with any other star & it would have got similar success, same with his other big hits. Dharma was going to be big without Khan Saab in any way.

Yes, Maroon...YashUncle and SRK bonded during the shooting of Duplicate (a special movie in my thinking, btw.) and when SRK saw potential in Karan for doing movies (instead of acting in them) he promised to support him as an actor (and he didn't do that because of DDLJ's success but because of the person he is).

YashUncle mainly agreed to Karans request doing a movie because he knew that SRK would back the movie... directors had/have trust in them!

Buddy that’s like saying Sooraj could’ve MPK with anyone.

No, Guddu, you're very wrong. Karan wouldn't have done neither KKHH nor probably any other movie... He was way too insecure at that time...and his father didn't have the confidence that SRK had (and voiced towards Karan's father). YashUncle only agreed to produce because of his trust in SRK.

Yes, coz that film required NEW FACE, woh waise bhi Badi HIT Honi thi. Half the work is always done when Director complete script & has a vision for Hero.

It is not just for Salman or Khan Saab, it is for all. SHOLAY would have been big without Dharam ji & Amit ji.

Very rare we could say that YES, this Hero/Character koi aur nahi kar sakta tha. The biggest example will be Saif Ali Khan was suppose to be doing DDLJ, he didn't Khan Saab did. Salman was suppose to do Baazigar, Khan Saab did. Aren't those films BIG HITs without the original cast who was suppose to play those roles?

That’s all true

But to say SRK would be nowhere without KJO. KJO legitimately came into movies after Srk. SRK legitimatized their studio with KKHH.

How much this info is authentic, I can't say, I haven't heard this part for KKHH. One thing which I know is, KKHH won't have been possible without Salman, as everybody refuse Karan for the role of Aman in film. Salman met Karan in a party & told him that he will do that role coz he respect Yash Uncle.

Karan has that talent or else he won't be having a 100% Success record for any director, it is rare.

Till now, it's only HearMeRoar who hinted at another turn of SRK's career as an actor without becoming - for a certain time - the "mascot" of Dharma (KJo) and YRF and getting the stamp of "King of Romance"...

Bhai woh waise bhi Studio new change ki taraf tha. Karan was Aditya chopra's best friend, you really think only SRK could have saved that studio?

I don't believe this, baaki debate hoti rahegi ke kya hota kya nahi.
