Abhi ji,I told you I'm simply playing the devil's advocate… 😉 Which isnt easy,as I'm made to say snide things about my favourite😭..None of these being my own opinions,just trying to provoke the fans😃
But I agree about what you said about Hrithik…He has had 4 hits out of the 13 movies he has done,3 hits being his home productions,and the other two being multistarrers....
Home productions where roles are written keeping him in mind,and definitely the comfort level with his dad would be more than with other directors.....
Dhoom 2 would've been a hit even if the character of Aryan was played by Akshay Kumar or Salman Khan or John Abraham,Dhoom wasnt the litmus test....Post Dhoom,every media person has embarked on a Hrithik glorification trip,which I find to be meaningless,as he still has a LONGGGG way to go before he can be called a superstar..All the glorification can be dismissed as poppycock,as the same prestigious Fourth Estate would switch loyalties if Abhishek delivers hits next year...The true acid test is the upcomming historical Jodha Akbar
One good year doesnt catapult anyone into superstardom,the success needs to be sustained!!....If ABhishek's Guru(which is an out an out ABhishek movie) works,and if ABhi can follow it up with successive hits in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom,the upcomming movie with Rani(which is again HIS movie),and in his upcomming movie with Priyanka,then the tables will turn.... 😛 ....It would be interesting to watch who is more successful and can sustain the success....Besides,ABhi has the added advantage that he shares a good rapport with almost everyone and doesnt have any egoes which stop him from playing second fiddles to SRk ,Ash and Hrithik....Thus he's in everyone's good books,and a good PR is very salient!!
Actully,Both Abhi and Hrithik have advantages AB and SRK didnt have...Hrithik's dad is a leading director,and AB's dad is a legend....AB and SRK came in without any family support and backing,and made it big on their own...their claim to fame wasnt their lineage as in Abhishek's case,nor did they have director daddies to make movies for them....
