Nope. In your dreams.
And stop comparing on basis of worldwide when Indian films were NOT even released globally as widely as they began to be released from 90s due to globalisation.
Film industry was not even an industry or organised in times of DK.
Raj Kapoor was first to take Indian cinema beyond South Asia and his cinema became popular in USSR.
AB sr was wildly popular abroad too and still is. He is first star to do world tours and stage shows. Otherwise Indian artistes did not perform at likes of Wembley earlier.
People like SRK built success from the base made by previous icons who paved the way for Indian cinema.
Cinema was not even liked as a medium in conservative South Asia. The stars of past made it acceptable to watch films. Otherwise Indians used to consider watching films equivalent to going to watch mujra at kotha and it was considered profession of harlots.
SRK has not surpassed DK, AB Sr yet. We shall see where he is at the ages when they gave hits like Saudagar, Black, Paa, Baghban, Karma or even Rajinikanth gave ATBB like Robot at 61 or so and who turns up to see him or give him ads or shows at 80. I am sure he will be a legend like DK, AB sr one day given his popularity and ability to bounce back, his resilience but it is premature to say he surpassed them or is at par with them. And equally silly to compare actors from an era when there was NO way to look young at all. India did not even gave professional make up artistes or fitness trainers or gyms when AB or DK were working as heroes.
By this logic you can also say Deepika looks younger and fitter than what Hema, Madhuri, Rekha, Sridevi etc looked at that age and she gave a big hit at this age unlike past superstars so she is bigger than them, and easily ignore all resources to look fitter, younger than Deepika has today and her predecessors never had.
Whatever that floats your boat. One hit and people think SRK surpassed DK and AB Sr already. Even SRK himself is not as haughty as some of his fans and over enthu PR or sites like BOI.
Lol… if this helps you sleep at night… why not…
srk is in league of legends like big b and dilip saab..
and he already has a more successful comeback than big b had at his age.
You can keep writing essays.. if this makes u feel better.
It’s silly and tbh feels a bit like tantrums of a rival fandom to think Giving an ATBB and number one grossing movie at 57 is small feat..
Ubb aur kitna prove karay 😂
