Can Varun Dhawan and Ranveer Singh replace Shah Rukh Khan and Salman K

Our trade experts give their take on the
next-in-line superstars of B-town, Who will
replace the Khans ? Read on...
The three Khans - Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir
have single handedly ruled Bollywood for
decades. Newcomers have come and gone, but
these three haven't gone anywhere. In fact with
time they have only become BIGGER and more
SUCCESSFUL. With all three of them hitting the
mid century 50 mark in 2015, we wondered if the
current lot of actors - Sidharth Malhotra, Varun
Dhawan and Ranveer Singh could ever step into
their heavy duty shoes and rule the roost like
they did. We spoke to two trade experts who
gave their point of view and understanding of
where super stardom is headed in the next few
years.
Trade expert and Editor of Super Cinema, Amul
Mohan revealed, "When Aamir, Salman and Shah
Rukh made their debut , we used to make
different kind of movies and their popularity has
grown over the years and they are still relevant
today. They are still doing three to four movies
each. In this bracket, all these young actors are
trying to find their own space. I don't think
anyone of them aspire to be like a Salman, Shah
Rukh or Aamir or even Akshay, because all of
these actors have had a long history of doing
movies and they have a great fan base, which is
unparalleled to anyone. Although this is a young
industry currently, I mean that there are a lot of
under 25 year old citizens in India, who will have
their own favourites. But those classic actors will
always be there and I don't think you can replace
them because till today we have not found the
new Amitabh Bachchan. We have not had a new
Amitabh Bachchan, a new Dilip Kumar, so on and
so forth, but those actors are still relevant in
these times as they are evergreen actors."
Talking about the newer crop, Amul added, "The
few actors who are doing really well for
themselves right now have to be Ranveer Singh
because he has had a fabulous year, Varun
Dhawan because he has had a phenomenal year
too, Sidharth Malhotra too because he displayed
his pedigree in a different avatars, Arjun Kapoor is
also doing a lot of movies."
But can there be a new Shah Rukh, Salman and
Aamir Khan? Amul mentioned, "I genuinely
believe that there cannot be another Shah Rukh,
Aamir or Salman or an Akshay, because of the
simple fact that we have not had a new Amitabh
Bachchan, for me that's a talking point. I think all
the newer actors will find their own space and
maybe ten years down the line, we will be talking
about who is going to be the next Ranveer Singh,
Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor
and so on. Actors are still going to be coming in,
films will still be made, newer talent will still be
coming into the industry, so this is a recurring
process."
Exhibitor and distributor, Akshaye Rathi also
echoes a similar voice that the three Khans and
their stardom is irreplaceable, but he also reveals
that if we go by the characteristics of the the
others stars, you can make out who would be the
three Khans. As he revealed to us, "I think Varun
Dhawan can be the next Salman as he has got
similar characteristics. If you look at Salman from
those early days, that innocence that he had, I
see a lot of that in Varun and I also see that
amazing flexibility to slip from a classiest to the
masses as a favourite that Salman Khan has,
which is also there in Varun Dhawan. So Varun
can do action, he can do comedy, he can pull of
that chichorapan that Salman used to do which
was extremely loved in his early days. So I feel
Varun Dhawan can be the next Salman Khan and
he has that mass appeal too, possibly courtesy
the genes. He being David Dhawan's son, the
commercial sense is there and you can see that.
Till date, he has not had a single failure at the box
office."
Akshaye then added, "After seeing Ranveer
Singh's range, from a Gunday to a Lootera to a
Band Baaja Baarat to a Bajirao Mastani, I would
say that Singh can be the next Aamir Khan.
Potentially, if he decides to get his script sense
right, then Ranbir Kapoor can be the next Shah
Rukh Khan. If he does the right kind of films, he
can be an amazing romantic hero. He just needs
to get his scripts right, which is dicey right now,
but it looks like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will be his
redeeming factor and will put his career back on
track."

The 3 KHANS are irreplaceable...PERIOD...even though I don't like Salman...I know that there can never be another Salman Khan...ditto for SRK and AK.

did the trade experts replace their father or merely made a
distinct image of themselves in the world?same way sk srk amir
can not be replaced.varun n ranveer will have to make their own
distinct image n footprints in our heart..😆

we will wait more 10 years than see how is difficult to replace😉

Why should the newbies replace oldies. They should make their own space like their predecessors , only time will tell how far they go.

Why is everyone after khans all the time , these new actors should prove their own talent and should make place for themselves in the industry instead of trying to replace the irreplaceables.

i dont want ranveer to replace anyone, he shud make his own place in the industry
