At the Jagran Film Festival, in an interaction, the director shared his thoughts about the new boys and the Khans. He told the people why it will be difficult for the younger actors to be the ‘Next Superstar’.
Karan said, “Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan had a decade to build their equity. You are made a big star by the number of people who have watched your films across the world. The number of people who have watched a film starring Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar, I don’t think anyone from the younger lot can attain that. It is going to be very tough for a Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor to build that audience base which is exceptionally loyal, faithful. They are talented but building a following will be very difficult.”
