Pathetic people, do they think Hrithik, The khans, Akshay etc came out of their mom's womb as superstars? Give the guy a break before you write him off!
I hope he proves them wrong and has the last laugh
Apologies for the length in advance.

I was too young to remember the Khans debut or what was written about them, but I have heard tell there was a frenzy around SRK when he debuted in Fauji. I did not follow what was written about Hrithik when he debuted, but I do remember my reaction on seeing him on the screen for the first time, absolutely sheer jaw drop at his looks, body, dancing. I don't remember being particularly wowed by his acting. If you are in your 20s even, that is what you remember. Every single actor that I have liked has been because I reacted in a theater or seeing them on a video screen years after they made their debut. That is what stays, not the articles trying to shove how great someone is before making their debut. That is what is happening with Tiger though IDK what was written about the Khans Akki or Hrithik. But the thing is, social media did not exist then, so that makes a big difference in transmitting people's opinions.

Absolutely fair. But look on the flip side. He has not made his debut and yet here is Aamir (who gave us Imran) saying he is the next superstar, he is being compared to Hrithik. There is this enormous hype around him and so far his looks... and though he has a good body and dances well, in Hrithik's debut it was something unique, now name someone who does not dance ok or have a decent body. Nothing unique. His acting is terrible and is unimpressive. So people are responding negatively to what they see.
What sets him apart is his physicality and how hard he trained. How many people have seen that training video of his? Pretty small in contrast with people who see the hype articles and the whistle baja song piggy backing on his father's film famous tune. This is what people see, the hype, not the hard work. His acting, dancing, body, looks nothing has impressed me. But I have not written him off simply because of how hard he has worked. I cannot write off someone like that. How many people have seen that part of him? Few. Most have seen only the hype and that is why the backlash even before the debut IMO.
