Overexposure - unappealing for your favorites?

😕 Ok, some actors/actresses have had the maximum releases this year (like Aish, Akshay, Ajay, etc.). But, did overexposure make them unappealing to the audience? Akshay has had to many films release back to back. Sometimes it is good to take a long hiatus and come back with a good film rather than producing junk every two months. After four releases this year, Aish is taking a short hiatus and will only come back with a few select films.

But, actors who were not in the limelight last year came back with some mega films and turned out to be disasters. That unfortunately happened to Hritik!! Even though his performances were critically acclaimed, is the public getting tired of him just after two releases?

I think stars need to chose their scripts WISELY. They shouldn't take up any and every film that is offered to them. Its better to take a break and come back with a powerful movie than do 3-4 movies that don't do so well. An overdose of too many movies during a year isn't always good. Therefore I like Aamir's philosophy of 1 or 2 movies per year. His films do better that way if you've noticed. Actors/actresses really need to dwell upon a script and make a WISE decision on whether to accept the role or not.

I have an aversion to overexposure of any kind, favorites or not. Now that PC has disappeared for a while, I'm actually looking forward to watching her in SKM. Otherwise couldn't stand her omnipresent self. 😆

and a lot of it also depends on the actor/actress's own luck!

Yes overexposure is not good at all. I think the audience will get tired of seeing your face lol. But if the performances are different and original from your previous work, than why not. Limit I will say 3-4 movies a year is fine. 4 movies a year might be too much. I don't know...maybe lol

As far as Hrithik is concerned, I think public does not care much about him anymore. I mean people will go watch any Aamir movie and make it a hit even its is as horrible as Ghajini. But exclusivity does not seem to work for others. Kites flopped and so did guzaarish. Why? Technically they should have worked because he came back after a year long gap from JA. Is Hrithik a star anymore or has Ranbir stolen his thunder? Am I even on topic anymore.....😳

Too much of anything is too bad!!!

You know, I have never felt that Hrithik is a star. A decent actor? Yes, but most definitely not a star. A star doesn't do film once in a while and then goes into hiding for the next two-three years to come back with some Big Banner film. A star isn't so selective about his films and can do any crap and make it a hit if he has enough star power in him...Akshay, Salman, anyone? These two aren't great actors, and they mostly star in some c-grade comedy films, and despite that, they can guarantee a hit in the Box office. The same cannot be said for Hrithik. When he did star in the c-grade movies, they flopped and tanked so badly that none even remembers that. In fact, throughout his ten years old career, how many grosser does he have on his hand? About five, which is not at all a big number coming from the supposedly "greatest" actor ever. In fact, it should be noted that three of those odd hits he did give came from his father's production house. In short, he does not possess the same aura and star power that a Salman, Akshay and even SRK has.

Coming to his acting...y'know, when he does, in fact, act, it is always so over-hyped. Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish are perfect examples of it. Don't see what is so great about his acting that the critics praise him to the skies for it. The guy can't do the emotional scenes without making funny faces. He is horrifically bad at crying too. And neither can he do comedy. How he won a best actor for KNPH when Aamir did not win it for QSQT is beyond me. The last time I saw him act - which, I will have to add, was a tad bit over-hyped - was in KMG - which was released more than seven years ago. After that, all he has done is crap. Krrish - wow, that was a film?!, D2 - W*H was that?!, JA - he was okay-ish, but seriously though, he did not deserve to sweep all the best actor awards for it. (I have not seen Guzarrish yet, he seems to hve done a good job there).

Point is...he is neither a huge star like Salman, Akshay, SRK, nor is he a great actor like Aamir, Nasiruddin Shah. He falls somewhere in the middle, which is why most people don't care. Thing is, he gives a decent performance (most of the time backed up by his father) after coming out if his hiding after every three-four years, and then he is hailed as some exceptionally talented actor the world has ever seen. Not everyone is going to see it that way.
