Annu Kapoor Questions Shah Rukh Khan's 'Last Superstar' Claim and Longevity
Veteran actor Annu Kapoor has questioned Shah Rukh Khan's claim of being Bollywood's "last superstar," expressing doubt about the actor's relevance lasting until 2045. Kapoor highlighted the long careers of Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, and Asha Bhosle as benchmarks for sustained success, suggesting such longevity is rare. While disputing the "last superstar" label, Kapoor acknowledged Shah Rukh Khan's significant financial success and global stature. He also noted limited personal recollection of working with Shah Rukh on the film Darr.
