Shah Rukh On Top: Shah Rukh Khan has reached that point, which superstars like Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan missed

Shahrukh Khan has been compared to Bollywood’s top superstars Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘Pathan’ is doing exceptionally well at the box office. ‘Pathan’ superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who became the number one earning star in the history of Bollywood, has made his place above Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan for many reasons.

Box Office India has listed the reasons that have brought Shah Rukh Khan to the top as a superstar. However, there can be many reasons and ideas behind why an actor is a superstar and a fan favorite. But here the career of these three superstars has been talked about and it has been said that there are many similarities in the careers of all three which show that these three are the top superstars of Bollywood. Counting these reasons, it has also been said that these three superstars had to see a break in their career at the same age, which had to be faced in the same period. However, it looks like Shah Rukh Khan got away with it, which Shah Rukh Khan and Dilip Kumar could not get away with.

Dilip Kumar took a break of 52 months

Let’s talk about Dilip Kumar, whose film ‘Bairag’ came in the year 1976 and at that time he was about 53 years old and during this time he took a long break from films. This film is called one of the flop films of the industry but it is not wrong to say that it is a hit or a super hit at the box office. Before this, Dilip Kumar had not given any hit film for about 6 years. The release of ‘Bairag’ was delayed and before that he had already gone on a long break. ‘Bairag’ was released in October 1976 and it was followed by ‘Kranti’ in February 1981, which was his next film after a break of 52 months. Although ‘Kranti’ became a blockbuster and the film broke many records at the box office, but this time Dilip Kumar did not appear in the lead role but as a character artist.

Amitabh Bachchan was on a break of 60 months at the age of 49

On the other hand, if we talk about Bollywood’s next superstar Amitabh Bachchan, he too took a long break at the age of 49 after the release of ‘Khuda Gawah’. This film could not prove true to the expectations of the people. The film opened well and became the highest-grossing film of that year at various places. During that time, except his film ‘Aaj Ka Arjun’, none of his films could show much wonder. ‘Khuda Gawah’ was released in May 1992 and Amitabh then took a break of 60 months and then his next film in the year 1997 was ‘Mrityudata’. However, in the meantime appeared in ‘Insaniyat’ as a guest appearance. After this, Amitabh made a comeback from the lead role but then he had to shift to character role. He has had an illustrious career as a character artist and continues to ace the role even today. However, Amitabh Bachchan could not get the kind of films and roles that Dilip Kumar got.

Shahrukh took a long break of 61 months at the age of 53.

Now let’s talk about ‘Pathan’ star Shah Rukh Khan. He also took a long break at the age of 53 after the release of the film ‘Zero’. However, even before ‘Zero’, many films of Shahrukh could not show anything special. ‘Zero’ was released in December 2017 and in the year 2023, he has made a comeback with ‘Pathan’. This break was not just like that, but more than the break of Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan, it was about 61 months. ‘Pathan’ has brought a storm at the box office, which has created record after record. The difference is that Shah Rukh Khan has entered the film not as a character artist but as a lead star. When Amitabh made a comeback as a lead actor, he proved unsuccessful. It is clear that Shah Rukh Khan has achieved that milestone in his film career which superstars like Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan missed.
