Why didn’t Bobby Deol become a superstar? - Page 2

Coz he used to look ugly-pagli. Ek wo, ek uske bakwas baal.

Why do we keep looking back at yesteryear actors and think that they were great? Nostalgic feel karke humein lagta hai ki woh toh badhiya tha/thi. Aisa kuch nahin hai.

sau baat ki ek baat - he just wasn't good enough.

Bobby deol came too late in 90s when many new actors had found foot holds already and there was not much space for any other new comers later it was over crowded

If he came in 1988 like amir or 1990 like salman or 1992 like SRK or sunil shetty/akshay kumar in 1990/1992 or ajay devgan like 1991 he could have been an hit only like all these ppl

But if you see all those who came after mid 90s all became a flop even bobby deol and akshaye khanna and tushar kapoor or any other new actor even ranbir kapoor was a flop only

except hrithik roshan all other flopped from 1993 to 2012 whoever has debuted have only flopped heroes especially. From 1994 to 2023 only Hrithik Roshan and Ranveer singh become super stars from first 3-5 movies. Even Ranbir was no super star till Sanju in 2018 he was flop actor from 2006 to 2018.

Also second issue with bobby deol was his brother sunny had huge ego so fights with yash chopra, aditya chopra and it extended to karan johar too. When two most powerful production houses do not take you your career will not succeed so much. Whereas saif ali khan, akshay kumar, salman although flopped kept good relation with chopra/johar camp so although flop did side roles in successful movies as second leads and survived.

While bobby started flopping he did not have back up of any production house as his brother fought with every other producer/director for him to get any side roles too was tough. Mahesh bhatt camp was miffed as he was BF of pooja bhat and even that successful camp never took hm mostly. Than SLB and Barjatyas too never took him so he hardly got any movie with successful producers/directors. His option was too limited.

Compare to that akshay/ajay/saif/salman survived by doing second lead roles in big production houses in lea phase that became hits. Or they had backing of big production houses. What is SRK without aditya chopra/karan johar hardly any hits. What is ajay devgan without rohit shetty/Mahesh bhatt camp? Hardly any hits in last 20 years. What is salman without sooraj barjatya in 1990s flop. What is akshay mostly only flops in 90s. Akshay/Saif/ajay survived by doing side characters when 10 movies flopped in row. Bobby had no one to give him even side roles because he/his brother had no good relations with big directors/producers.

Third is bobby was confused what to do action or romantic roles or comedy. He tried everything and flopped no niche. When bobby came in era was turning to romantic movies from 1995 to 2007 till wanted movie it was more romantic movie eras. But he was more an action hero. There were already established action super stars and stars like sunny, akshay, ajay, sunil shetty. No space for more action stars there. In romantic salman, srk, amir, saif had established. In comedy govinda was there. o bobby had tough competition to establish fan base.

Also a propaganda was done in early 2000s that bobby was lazy and late to work etc. Its known many actors are late to shoot in 90s no one was that punctual except one or two. But still this late and lazy was fixed to bobby deol. And hrithik becoming hit in action/romantic movie finished all chances for bobby. Movies that would come to him went to hrithik.

Sooraj let me address this he wasn’t some huge director MPK was his debut as a director and Salmans 1st movie as a lead actor at that time Sooraj wasn’t a known director nor a big production house. The movie MPK clicked because audience liked the movie and Salman Khan and bhag chemistry and they later the other movies with Salman in it audiences enjoyed them as well like HAHK which I’m was huge as well both were ATBBS. Then HSSH did well which was multi starrer. Then in recent times prem Rathaus Dhan piyo which di was superhit/blockbuster.

In other hand mein prem ki diwani with Hrithik didn’t do well thus was only sooraj movie that didn’t work at the bo despite having Hrithik n Kareena. Because even vivah with shahid was a hit n we know shahids track record. I bring this up because u were saying others would be no where without xyz. I will address the others in other post.

I liked his movies Badal and Bichhoo with Rani. I loved the songs. I still hear Na Milo Kahin Pyar when I have time. I heard Kareena destroyed his career. Is it true? His wife was rude with her during Ajnabee and maybe she took revenge of him by kicking him out of Jab We Met.

Bobby kabhi star hi nahi tha

Sirf lambe baal k liye famous tha

Aur jab baal chale gaye woh bhi chala gaya

He wasn't superstar material, but he was good and his projects were good.

And the Industry hasn't always been fair and neither the awards esp when they toss them between just 2 actors, ofcourse the other actors after a while will be like bhaar mein jawo. And can't blame them.

It's good Ranveer and Ranbhir came and snatched some awards here and there causing a little disruption to that boring pattern.

I'm almost certain, Ranbhir will win best actor for Animal and Bobby best villain.

Or will they both go in the category for negative role together?

He was quite popular in early 2000. He gave few hits. He worked with all the top actresses of 90’s and early 2000’s. I think directors couldn’t use him on a right way. Another actor is Fardeen Khan. Both of these guys had lots of potential but their luck didn’t work out.

Basically discrediting the stars own successes and saying that only succeeded due to the director/producer etc, n only Hrithik didn’t have no one lol one could say in the 90s without papa most his movies weren’t hits.

Jab Bobby Twinkle ka launch hua tha tab special programs chal rahe the ki Dharmendra aur Rajesh Khanna k bacchon ka launch hai

Same way, Jab Abhishek aur Kareena launch hua tha tab Bachchan aur Kapoor khandan ka hype chal raha tha

Inko pata nahi tha ek flop actor ka beta Hrithik aakar dil jeet jaayega janta ka

Hrithik ko Superstar Janta ne banaya

Jab se Hrithik aaya hai Janta ka ek Hero se jo expectations the badh gaya

Tabhi 23 saal se ek bhi dhang ka Superstar ban hi nahi paya

Koi bhi top actress nahi tha, 1990s 2000s mein sab actresses bhi start hi kar rahe the chahe kajol, rani hi ya aishwarya toh unke saath kaam karna koi badi baat nahi thi

He was popular for his long hairstyle only

Jab hairstyle badal diya toh popularity bhi chali gayi
