An article has published in today's famous bengali newspaper on a serious topic. Really its a very interesting topic. I have tried to translate it. Take a look pls...


Many years ago, Amitabh Bachchan said, To meet him you have to go to theaters to watch his films. But none keeps promise, Amitabh Bachchan also not exceptional in this case. First, Television, now Smartphone. Starting from posting pics in Facebook, Twitter to giving descriptions of every minute in his blogs- we all know these.

So the era of Superstars has gone?? There are many Stars in this film industry. But where are the Superstars? First Amitabh, then SRK, Salman, Amir, after them Akshay Kumar these persons once used to be in that phase of Superstardom, but if u count boxoffice reports of last few years, u will see many stars could not make their films successful only due to their own stardom.

Salman was in advance position comparing with others in pulling audiences towards theaters. Bhai ka film hai matlab ticket k maarpit confirmed. but recently that wind also not visible. Tubelight is the proof. Raees, Fan, Dilwale- SRK's condition also same. Still we can find solo hits of Khans.

Many thinks Stars have become very much available now. Facebook live, Twitter chat, posting personal pics on Insta - for these reasons the Superstar Aura has vanished.

Still we can call SRK, Salman, Amir Superstars, but who is the superstar in next gen? Ranbir, Ranveer, Varun, Arjun themselves admit this fact. Arjun said in an interview few days ago, 'Now we have become much available. People are not waiting for our films to know about us.' Ranbir who does not know much about social media, also comes to fb live before film release. The Scenario of actresses is worse. They are sharing so much things about them in their profiles, why will audience go to halls then? Recently a top rated bw actress said, 'In earlier actresses were not the copycats like now, Superstars ka jamana toh gaya.'

She has not said wrong though. Anushka Sharma has posted her pic in bikini, after two days Disha Patani also seen in same type bikini.

If there is a question of Superstar, we can talk about Prabhas after huge success of Bahubali. But Bahubali because of Prabhas or Prabhas because of Bahubali? We will get the answer after Saaho. So we can say him Superstar or not still we are not sure..

We cant blame anyone for this, may be it was natural with respect to times.

Interrsting... though I still read articles about fans waiting outside of SRK's and Bachchans' residences by the hundreds, just to get a glimpse of them. To me that's super stardom.

yes. but pehle ek excitement thi. ab stars too much available ho gaya hai. we know so much about them k lagta hai woh toh paas mein hi rehta hai. ek amaze hua karta tha pehle. and tbh ab Khans k films ko lekar woh excitement bhi kam ho gaya hai. kuch saal pehle bhi scenario kuch alag thi. but still they are superstars. but these generation?? Jo srk amitabh ji ka saath hota hai woh iss gen k stars k saath nahi hota. after spending so many years in the industry they r Still considered as Future Superstar. aisa lagta hai Khans ko replacement karna Muskil hai

Khans will be the last super stars
From the next generation there will be stars
It is very difficult to hold on to that aura for 25+ years
Competition is much more now
So many films release in a year
Films are in halls for 2 months maximum
Films come on internet or TV soon after the release
So some people wish to wait and watch later
All these factors are responsible for this

Varun, Ranveer and Sushant are working hard to reach there. Problem is I don't see iota of charisma, raw talent or charm in any of them. If they can gain any 2 of the virtues they will bring back super stardom... 😃

superstar aura should be gone..I don't know why it is so glorified. Stars should have some responsibility towards public that comes to watch their movies..They should be passionate about the work they do... it shouldn't be that sense of entitlement that they are "superstars", so they can do anything, and public will go watch them..

Nowadays story is the main hero. Who would have imagined bahubali becoming such a great hit? Aamir's movies work coz people know he will deliver great content and content is a winner. And besides this is the era of internet. People have lot of means to entertain themselves. And notice how the hero worshipping is also diminishing, that era of superstars with crazy fan following is slowly saying goodbye!
