The word star is misused. we have only 3 or 4 good stars - Varun

Back to your work. Sons of most filmmakers have failed to make it big and we won't take names. But your line-up reads: A film with Dharma Productions, Illuminati Films, Mohit Suri and Sriram Raghavan. Let me put it this way, I have been an avid film watcher and that's rubbing off on the choices I make in selecting films. Shahid starrer Phata Poster...didn't do too well.

And just when we thought that Ranbir is invincible, Besharam didn't hit the bull's eye. Is 'star power' dwindling? Does it scare you? I think we have only three or four stars-Salman, Shah Rukh, Aamir and Hrithik. The word 'star' is misused. A good film will never fail. And if you have become an actor to become a star, then your reason of being in this profession is wrong. It amounts to abusing the art.
