Scary thought.
But looking at the movies she's choosing recently, it strikes me that its the same strategy. Signing big projects with big stars in movies that are all about them, and her being just a part of it.
I dont know if its intentional or not, but look at the trend:
3 Idiots: Big project. Cant blame her here coz the concept, project was amazing. And she had a pretty cute role. But at the end of the day, people dont give her credit for 3 Idiots's success. Mostly, she benefitted off ot it.
Ra One: With Srk. What is her role? A wife? Most glam mother ever, like wth is that? Movie's all about Srk, and to an extent Arjun. Maybe their son. Srk said this movie's about a father and son relatoinship. Or its about special effects, its a superhero flick. Every way, she's nowhere in the picture.
Bodyguard with Salman: Articles have said its a Salman centric film. She mgith have a godo role but at the end of the day, is it a role that anyone could have done? I'm sure it is.
To an extent, I dont blame her. The Khans are pretty much her only options right now. Hrithik and Abhi dont share good vibes with her. Ranbir, the hottest thing at the moment, whos' bagging the best projects, is not even an option.
And the Khans are doing films that are about them. Thats just a fact. And they have the right to as well coz they are that big. Only Khan who's film she has good roles in are Saif's. Kurbaan, and now Agent Vinod. But she can tdo any more movies with him.
Which other costars can she work with? Who's left? Good options are Abhay, Farhan, etc. But to have them AND have a good project where she has a steller role, I dont see it happening.
And part of me thinks its intentional.
I mean she's the one who turned down No One Killed Jessica (that now went to Rani and Vidya), refused Dhruv (which is shelved), and is currently awaiting Heroine. But seeing how her luck is going, I'm not gonna hold out hope for Heroine either.
