He can if he goes the Amitabh Bachchan route. Amitabh Bachchan had quite a few failures before he realized that he had to move on from hero roles and play character roles that suit his talent and age.
I think SRK should stop playing romantic lover roles and re-invent himself with some strong character and script-driven roles. If he is gonna do films like HNY, Dilwale, JHMS, etc, he will never be able to gain momentum again. I'm so disappointed because I know SRK can do roles like CDI, Swades, or even grey/dark characters. He is versatile but he isn't experimenting much with his talent barring the occasional Fan or Raees.
