It seems Mr. Perfect Aamir Khan and the current flavour of the season, Akshay Kumar, are conspiring with each other to dislodge Shah Rukh Khan from the pinnacle of super stardom. Apparently, the plan to topple SRK from his number one position has been brewing for quite sometime.
It’s clear that both the actors do not think that they are competition for each other given the choice of films they doing. And when at a recently concluded award ceremony Akshay refused to accept ‘The Most Popular Actor’ award saying that if anyone deserved this award it was Aamir, most people saw it as an indication that their ploy was succeeding. Elaborating on the super scheme, our source said, “Shah Rukh Khan has been leading the ratings for many years now, but of late Akshay has been biting at his heels. Akshay has managed to give consistent hits and many have already proclaimed him as the next superstar.
Aamir has also realised that it is now or never for him. Aamir has never been part of the rat race, however now, after Taare Zameen Par and Ghajini he wants to assert his supremacy. Aamir does not see Akshay as his rival as the two are completely different and the kind of films they do are also different. Evidently they had dinner some days ago to discuss their strategy against SRK.”
Our source added, “To their credit, they have been successful to a large extent, and the result had been the dismal opening of SRK’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi despite the YRF clout behind it. On the other hand, Aamir’s Ghajini was very well received. Akshay too had a spate of successful films. Although the reports of Chandni Chowk to China are far from encouraging, Akshay has managed to get the maximum limelight and publicity from the film.”
We wonder if Shah Rukh Khan is aware of the sinister scheme against him. And if he is, what his next move will be. He is no greenhorn and despite his affability can be as wily as anyone else can. Watch this space for the next installment of the war for numbers.
