Amitabh Bachchan, the last word in superstardom in tinsel town, will not have to worry about who will be the next to step into his heavy shoes.
Right after the super success story of ‘Dabangg’, Bollywood hunk Salman Khan seems to have hit the right chords, and is on his way to be given a seat just next to the Big B, in terms of his image, his super success after a brief lull, his star power, his dramatic return and his rise to stardom after being termed as totally finished!
Well, to prove a point let’s put the top five common factors between the two stars in point nomenclature!
First- Amitabh Bachchan was considered a romantic hero from his first few films, especially the ‘Bombay to Goa’, kind of role. Salman Khan too had the romantic hero image right from ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ release.
Secondly- Big B was known as the angry young man, more for his roles like ‘Deewar’, Muqaddar Ka Sikander’, etc. And even in real life, he was known to be a private person. Salman Khan got the image of an angry young man more due to his real life guffaws and also his penchant for staying away from social dos.
Thirdly Amitji was given a raw deal; films started getting bleak reviews after his stupendous success in his prime years. His production house fell into depths, and he thus forayed into the small screen with ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati, which was a stupendous hit. Salman Khan too, was at the helm of being considered a flop star, after a series of flops, and his success with ‘Wanted’, was considered a fluke shot. Even Salman ventured into the small screen with the amazingly popular ‘Dus Ka Dum’, and that brought him back with a bang!!
Fourthly, Big B is adored by fans from all age groups, young and old; similarly, Salman Khan has a fan following amongst all age groups.
Fifthly, Big B broke all records to prove that he is the reigning super star in B Town, and Salman Khan has just proved his super star power, and is again to appear in Big Boss 4, replacing Big B. Will Salman really follow Big B’s footsteps?
