Why will the Khans, Akki, Ajay pack their bags? 😆
People still want to see their movies.
Older and younger actors can co-exist, they all have their audience.
Otherwise movies of Varun, RK, Tiger etc would not be successful.
Did Amitabh pack his bags yet?
Did Dilip Kumar or Dev Anand pack their bags? They both continued acting well into their 60s and 70s.
What Khans will do is gracefully switch to older main lead roles.
Like Dilip Kumar in Karma, Saudagar etc.
As long as they act their age there shd be no problem. And I dont see any of them acting opposite 18 yr olds. At least not the 3 Khans.
Aamir played dad to 18-20 yr old in Dangal, SRK played 45 yr old dad to kids in Fan, DZ, even Sallu is doing older roles now.
They know they are aging and acting likewise.
I think the last one to act opposite a very young heroine was Akki...with Amy Jackson in Singh is Bling.
But otherwise most of their female leads are 30+ or close to 30, so not exactly 18 yrs old.
The thing is as long as audience wants to see them they will be main leads, but they are gradually slipping into older, age appropriate roles.
As for 90s heroines, its unfortunate but the society and the industry are deeply misogynist and a woman is supposed to retire when shes 40+ and is married with kids.
But Ash is still there, isnt she a 90s heroine too?
Shes 43 and still going strong! 😃
And Kajol had a hit movie with Dilwale, hope she does more movies soon.
