If Sanju is a hit only because of Raju Hirani, why is Pathan's success not due to Siddharth Anand, who is known for his high-octane action movies and slick production values?
Anand's brand of cinema is often characterized by big-budget productions with a strong focus on action and spectacle. They are glossy, full of sheen, and larger-than-life characters and known to attract large audiences. Not only that, his last venture War also broke box-office records, and Pathan followed a similar recipe for success.
But no, of course, SRK's megastardom is celebrated.
I think some people in this forum have their own prejudices. At least, follow the same logic for all.
