Saif should stop doing solo movies. He has continued to select crap scripts and doesn't learn his mistakes. Phantom could be his last chance. He should do supporting roles or character roles if the flops continue. Please share your thoughts. 😭

Saif was never a solo hero material at all. He used to give comic relief in 90's films and now giving headache to the audience by his films.

I like saif. But I think he's not getting good roles anymore. Remember him in Kal ho na ho, Love Aaj Kal, and Parineeta? I miss those days...

Oh geez.

Seriously? Saif's best work has been as a SOLO hero. Doesn't matter if hit or not, but i would not want to lose the hero who gave us Parineeta, Hum Tum, Ek Hasina Thi, Being Cyrus.

He's very much CAPABLE of acting, and he's got the charm on screen. As for hits and flops, they change every friday. Kal tak Love Aaj Kal, Race, Cocktail waghaira de raha tha, toh hero ban gaya. 3,4 flops ke baad, he's not worthy?

Seriously? As for hoping he'll go back to side roles, no chance.

He has enough good will in the industry with the likes of Reema Kagti and Farhan still wanting him. And he has his own production house.

Reminds me of back in 2011:

"Is Priyanka's career over"

2012 - Barfi

WOW, she's awesome. Sweeps best actress awards.

IF Is the best when it comes to nay sayers.

Saif's been here since 1992. Just based on that fact, he's not going anywhere. If he can survive back in the 90s when he was awkward, he can surely easily keep going nowadays, when he has his own production house AND audiences are more open to good movies, despite how low an actor's luck is.

Saif's "unsuccessful" attempts at Soro Hero.

Terrible actor, this man is. Headaches.

Honestly, getting hits is a lot of luck and the right release tactics. Release it with good music, and the right month, even newcomers like Ashiqui 2 can get hits or Student of the Year.

He is going wrong by working with niche directors like DK Krishna, Sriram, and Tigmanshu and forcing them to make big commercial films.

If he wants hits, stick to the directors that make those big films. But if he wants to work with the niche directors, LET THEM DO THEIR JOB. Don't expect them to change their world to suit more commercial audiences

Saif was never a very popular actor and now he looks so old and ugly. Who will spend money to see him on screen? There are newer and better actors who also have huge fanbases.

he just doesn't have the strong fan base anymore to be able to carry a film solely

You don't need a fan base.

Did Ranveer Singh's fan base save Kill Dil? Or was it Aditya's "fan base" that made Ashiqui a hit while Daawat E Ishq sank without a trace?

When will people realize that unless you're the Khans or Kumar, it takes more than a fan base to make your films hits.

Kareena has a fan base, but her films don't just automatically become hits.

Where was Sid's fan base for hasee toh phase? While his Ek Villain became a hit?

Or where was Varun's fan base for Main Tera Hero, while Humpty Dumpty became a hit?

What we need are GOOD actors. That's it. Good actors and good directors and great promotional tactics.

The producer for getting people to the theater. The director and actor for keeping them in there and WOM.

Humshakals had a great start, one of the biggest openers of the year, but with a director like Sajid's content, it sank.

the fact that Saif HAS given solo hits, at ANY point in time, up until 2013 to be more precise, means he has it in him. The rest is luck. If he did it once, he can do it again.
