Does being choosy turn you off from your favorite?

😕 There are a lot of actors/actresses who cannot be Aamir Khan. Everyone has their own identity and appeal with the audience. Aamir Khan has developed a strategy for being particular about his film roles and one release a year or every two years does not hurt his box office standing. However, on the other hand, that hurt Hritik Roshan very badly. He had a huge hit in Jodhaa Akbar in 2008. Then, two years later, he came back with the hyped releases Kites and Guzaarish which sank without a trace. Being choosy hurt him and now he is coming in films that are hopefully going to get back his loyal audience who believed in him years earlier!
So, if your favorite is choosy and only does one film a year, does that turn you off? It is understandable if actors/actresses like to attempt something different. But, they cannot alienate their fans and need to stay in the spotlight.
So, does being choosy hurt or help?

Please share your thoughts, as this should be a very interesting topic! 👏👏👏

I like one movie a yaar policy maybe at most 2....but that means I expect quality work. Good movie, good performance, good role...etc etc. I would take one good movie over 5 crappy films anyday!

🤗 Thank you beboholic! I am glad you always like my topics. Yes, sometimes, I know I post silly things, but you got to have a balance, right?! So, do you think Kareena is choosy or signing every film she can get her hands on?!

I really don't care. It's difficult to predict box-office and most of them, even the biggest stars, need that to stay at the top. All these senior actors who have become choosy have done tons of films as a newcomer. There was an Aamir Khan interview some time back where he mentioned that he used to do a lot of films earlier because he wanted to make a name first, now he is selective because he needs time to work on various levels and also he can afford to do that. Kareena isn't selective at all and yet at the top. There's Hrithik Roshan who was selective from the beginning but that really didn't work in his favor. It's all about star power in Bollywood.

So in my opinion, if you don't have your own production house to make your kind of cinema then go sign the films and make good money. Once you have the star power, you can become selective too or at least in your interviews you can claim to be one if you aren't offered any movies. Actors do get noticed even in the films that don't work well.
As an audience I want to see good films but I do watch all kinds of cinema depending on my mood.

it doesnt matter to me.. the movie should be good choosy or non choosy and as i dont actually like alot of people i dont care what they do..😆😆 but it makes me angry when actors like Hrithik do movies like Guzaarish and overact to the limit beyond limit i guess..😕 tho i dnt like him but he has potential.. if he stops doing stupid movies like Kites, Guzaarish, main Prem ki deewani hoon 😡😡

i dont think so , at least not anymore
now almost all actors are only doing a movie or two per year, it's not same as it used to be where each actor has 5-6 movies a year. now almost everyone rather do 1-2 movies, and give full attention to their roles.

i like it when a lot of movies keep coming out continuosly, not neccessarily of the same actor, but there shuld be a steady stream of good movies, so if that means actors shuld do 3-4 movies a year, then thats wut they shuld do. for example. srk barely does any movies now and nowss the time he suld hurry since hes getting old

You welcome and your right, you have to balance your topics. 😊

Kareena is not selective about her work at all. She just signs films based on the stars and sometimes based on the script...but that's very rare with her.
