comparing Rajni with Salman is a greatest insult to a legend like Rajni. Before all Sailu fans throw bricks at me, let me clarify, I do love Salman, but, he does not have depth of emotions like Rajni. Watch Rajni' Tamil/Telugu movies when he was an actor, not superstar yet. You will understand.


Salman never had the need to become actor, he has been a star from the get go. That kind of acceptance from audience will not let the craft of actor to thrive and improve. Mixed blessing.



No need to over react. My comment was more in terms of his stardom, popularity and success. Acting is subjective, so you may find him a great actor but I don't. I have grown up watching his movies and always found him a very mediocre actor, but he has that certain charisma that overpowers everything i.e. the story, acting, screenplay etc.
Same is the case for Salman. He isn't a great actor too, nonetheless shines even in his crap masala movies.

Even, Salman I think was much better in 90's when he wasn't a superstar yet. Now he has turned stony.

Just my POV.

It's not possible for non South Indian people to understand southern stars . They are worshipped as gods, have political clout, their fan clubs are involved in charities and part of many social causes. SI stars reach out to fans and FCs much more than BW stars. I understood this only after living in SI for sometime . In SI, movie stars are Demi gods. That's why 2nd gen of SI superstars are more successful than BW counterparts.
It's a different world altogether. You have to experience it, you can't understand it from comments

There is nothing great (personality wise, depth in voice). He does not consider himself great too. That is what is the greatest thing. End of the day, it is the connection. He connects straight away with the masses and becomes one amongst them. Tamilians, whether it is love or hate, they do it intensely, passionately. They just adore him.
It is not like, he is not a good actor. His earlier movies (Balachander does not pick non actors) have proof. But he sacrificed the actor in him for the image his fans cherished. There is nothing right or wrong in this world.

This is a very common question asked not just by you but even his hardcore fans keep wondering what is it that's making them go so gaga about him...What's intriguing is his fans consists of not just masses but the so called elitists too...
*Of course there are a very small %age of people like me, who are able to resist his charms

I love Katrina now. She gave birth to a son and pleased her in-laws and hot husband Vicky. It seems she is a great bahu, wife, and mother....
