Sunil on Akshay’s stardom
(On popular demand…)
Vijayshivaay is right.Comparing different generations is futile.Amitabh was greatest of his era.He should not be compared with anyone.Akshay is a legendary superstar.He is the biggest superstar of his Era that is since 1992 or 1999.
The first ever actor in Hindi cinema to get more than 100 crores per film.Tonymontana is wrong to say Akshay did not dominate like Amitabh because that is futile.We should look at the current scenario.Akshay is much bigger than shahrukh khan,Salman khan.
Pathaan is basically a director,content oriented hit.It doesn’t change anything.

I warned Naveen and like that SRK was more likely to get 300Cr than Akki.
In fact I was wrong…SRK skipped 300, 400 and went to 500 instead.
Akshay doesn’t have the heritage, fanbase for 500Cr.
He is successful in his own bandwidth. But he was never as popular as Salman, SRK, Aamir, Hrithik…I’d probably say Ranbir, Ranveer and Ajay are more popular than him too.
The strategy of doing 4 releases per annum is admirable to some degree. When it works it delivers middling successes I.e. 100-200Cr lifetimes. But nothing outstanding that justifies the salary of Akshay. But when it fails it is a disastrous strategy. There is little upside.
Same for Aamir in opposite way. Delayed projects, dilli dabbling on one project only works if you execute – it has to be pretty flawless. The better balance for him was 05-08. 09-17 he was fortunate enough because scripts worked. Once TOH happened the strategy is a weak one. He will need to readdress and secure a line up that guarantees at least 1-2 films each year.
Hrithik and Ranbir need to do the same.
Salman has generally followed a good frequency. Looks like SRK will now too.

I don’t need to be a fan. But if he gets 500Cr in the next year he is a top superstar!

Kya baat hai Sunil . Chaa gaye Boss .Gabbar wil be back, he is Khilaiyon ka khiladi – International Khiladi. Bas ek hee Arzoo hai, he should NOT be doing movies like Laxmi . He is the only one who can bring the Good news of Housefull back. he is the true chotey miyan to the one and only Badey miyan.

Hrithik & Ajay D is enough for that. Not possible for puny second rung stars who’re more interested in working with Dharma & doing films like Laxmi and Atrangi Re.

Satyam is a big time narcissist anyway. Was bound to chicken out once his own favorite reviewer B Rangan praised HRs performances in Super 30, War & Vikram Vedha. All his nonsense theories of being a “non actor” fell flat on its face thanks to Rangan himself.

I last interacted with him in March 2022. I can ask Q to check but don’t want to bother if he(Satyam) is busy.
