Question: Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2 were all back-to-back blockbusters. Something that no other actor has achieved in the history of Indian Cinema. Can any other actor break this record? Will there ever be another Salman Khan? - Ajay Bihari
Answer: Aamir Khan came very close - Taare Zameen Par, Ghajini, 3 Idiots and Dhoom 3 were all blockbusters or better, but he also had one not-so-successful film in between (Talaash). It just goes to show that attaining blockbuster status is incredibly difficult and doing so 5 times in a row speaks volumes of Salman Khan's super-stardom.

Also, the bigger problem is, when one or two films of an actor goes on to be a blockbuster, the cost-of-production, marketing and the actor's fee also sky-rockets, which makes it increasingly difficult just to recover costs.
Having said that, the future is always unpredictable, which is what makes it exciting. Will there ever be another Salman Khan? Probably not, because the craze that he commands in the smaller towns and villages in India is unmatched. He is not loved in those parts, he is worshipped.
