Bollywood’s two iconic stars, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, contemplate retirement. And while it’s Pathaan and Tiger happening, it becomes clear to see that the conversation is not about retiring from their spy roles as Pathaan and Tiger, but handing over the reins of the Hindi cinema to someone from the younger acting lot.
Just see Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is said to be not a good earner in comparison to other Salman Khan starrers, still then that film has managed to collect nearly two hundred crore, it’s much more than a Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh starrer so called super hit movies.
This is purely Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s magic as their not so good movies earns two hundred crore, this is the real star power.
However, the duo eventually decides to continue carrying the responsibility because “desh ka sawal hai.” Just like their characters of The blockbuster Pathaan, a majority of people including big Journalists and trade analysts have said that Salman and SRK are irreplaceable.
One of the finest stars of the Indian Film Industry Shahid Kapoor have stated the same version recently to a Journalist. Bollywood’s celebrated star Shahid Kapoor who recalled watching the classic scene from Pathaan on the big screen, and echoed a similar sentiment. “They can’t be replaced,” Shahid said.
One of the best actors of the our Bollywood Shahid Kapoor believes that it will not only very difficult but nearly impossible for the actors from younger generation to achieve that kind of stardom which Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan enjoy, according to him, ” Today’s stars are more exposed due to social media and the audience has many more options for entertainment other than just watching films in theatres and also I believe the work done by these two icons are incredible and that couldn’t be recreated.”
Shahid Kapoor further said,
“The actors of this generation will have to find themselves,” he said, before confidently adding, “They will find an audience. I respect the actors of this generation. Some of them have done phenomenal work, but to reach the level of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan is impossible.”
Rightly said Shahid Kapoor as there will be no Superstars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, they are living legends.
