CONTENT!!!
I think we all need to realize that the REAL superstar in todays day and age is CONTENT. Content is what makes a film - Yes I do agree that content NEEDS artists to do justice to it, but at the end of the day, content is the driving force.
We put Ranbir and Vidya on a pedestal...and we dropped them to the floor just as fast...Ranbir and Vidya are still the same Ranbir And Vidya from 2011/2012...Yes they both made mistakes - Besharam, Bobby Jasoos, Bombay Velvet, Shaddi Ke Side Effects...
So people liked Ranbir in Barfi...but threw him to the floor in other movies...same with Vidya... This has happened to Kangana too, after Queen ,Revolver Rani was not a successful film (although she did not get too much flak for it)
My point here is that, i think people overreact when they see a good film and start calling the actor/actress in a good film a "superstar" "icon" "legend"
In my opinion, the truth is that if a movie does well in the box office, and is well-received - its more so because of the content NOT ENTIRELY because of the actors involved.
Tomorrow if Kangana does a shitty film, I doubt anyone will call her Queen. Alia went from SOTY to Highway in just 1 film - that in itself shows the difference content can make. Remember people used to call Vidya the 4th Khan?...Look at her today...shes almost as irrelevant as her pre-Paa days
I really believe that with the exception of 4-5 people, there are no superstars except content.
