So no one has replaced the khans. SRK is fading. Aamir and Salman still have a huge fan base, but Ranbir, Hrithik, Ranveer have no crazy fan following like Big B and Salman have... so is the end of superstars in bollywood.

This is just the start. Once the upper level starts weakening, the lower level starts moving upward.

With every movie, younger stars will start building / attracting more and more fans. Younger generation with 0 attachment to khans will be attached to younger stars.

If you look around carefully, even khan fans are slowly supporting younger stars. The issue is there are too many stars from younger generation. That is causing confusion. But leaders of the young pack are becoming visible. 😈 😆

thats not how superstars are made. Superstars have a huge fan following from the beginning... not snatching it from other people.

Do we need superstars or super-films?
I'm still not sure why the star system has existed in BW.

Hasn't it only been detrimental to us?

Even with vacuum it took khans few years to move up. When there is strong superstar at top, the going will be slow. 😛 Superstar are born when actor gets 1 strong BO performing movie and then get strong offers. At this point directors and producer are not transferring their love to younger generation. Fans can only do so much. 😃

Khans have 20+ years of body of work to get such fan following.
Now a days people have started caring for movies with content, so hopefully superstar system will fade.

Bollywood can do well without superstars.

Amir made 300 cr but the people working behind the curtains got laid off...

Why should we be proud or encouraging of such selfcentric superstar System?
What do we as an audience gain by bragging about the kind of money they make? In fact I find it cheap to keep track of who makes how much...LOL
I d rather we have more akshay kumars and b ranked stars making better quality movies, employing more n more people where everyone benefits...

Which Leo movie sucked and did great business?
The last movie of his that really sucked was The Great Gatsby. And that made 300 for 100 budget.

I don't think HW superstar system exists at all. It's more of a studio system.
