Annu Kapoor Questions Shah Rukh Khan's 'Last Superstar' Claim and Future Relevance
Veteran actor Annu Kapoor has challenged Shah Rukh Khan's claim of being Bollywood's "last superstar," questioning whether Khan can maintain relevance until 2045. Kapoor noted that similar labels have been applied to past stars like Rajesh Khanna, and highlighted the unusually long careers of Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, and Asha Bhosle. While acknowledging Khan's financial success as the second-richest actor globally, Kapoor expressed skepticism about his sustained prominence over the next two decades.
