Actor Salman Khanhas said that there are only five stars in Bollywood which include him, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn. The actor added that it’s not easy to maintain stardom for so long.
Talking to Filmfare, Salman said in an interview, “Stardom will fade eventually. It’s a huge task to keep it going for such a long time. I guess Shah Rukh, Aamir, Akki, Ajay…we’re the only ones who have been able to pull it off for such a long time. We’ll try our best to keep it going for another few years. Just like in the case of all superstars, the box-office collection will come down to eight to ten percent. But it hasn’t started yet.”
True. There are only 8 male stars in BW today. Of those, only these 5 have been consistent for so long. And we cannot write them off yet. At least not for the next couple of years.
I remember how Ranbir used to be (me thinks) arrogantly stating - a decade back - that now the Khans are gone and he would like to be the next superstar. Oh the irony! 😁
