The raging debate between Ranveer Singh and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali over the casting of the other male lead in the pseudo-historical Padmavati brings into focus the rapid rise of the trend of solo starrers and the fall of the multi-starrers.

Top heroes at one time would come together in various attractive permutations.We hasAmitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Sanjeev Kumar in Sholay, [tooltip id=”88b6af99531f838ed90aed058b7d870a”][tooltip id=”c1b465420d07c688942ed18eadfd9f92″ keyword_color=”#000000″ background_color=”#ffffff”][tooltip id=”4db8f5608d45f5de7881d9bce162f4bf”]Salman Khan[/tooltip][/tooltip][/tooltip] and ShahRukh Khan in Karan Arjun,Akshay Kumar[tooltip id=”88b6af99531f838ed90aed058b7d870a”][tooltip id=”c1b465420d07c688942ed18eadfd9f92″ keyword_color=”#000000″ background_color=”#ffffff”][tooltip id=”4db8f5608d45f5de7881d9bce162f4bf”]Salman Khan[/tooltip][/tooltip][/tooltip] in Mujhse Shaadi Karoge… and so on.

The presentday A-list actors from Shah Rukh/Aamir/Salman to Ranbir/Ranveer/Varun to even the newcomers like Harshvardhan Kapoor and Tiger Shroff  all want to be in solo-hero films .

A topnotch producer who attempted to bring together two young A-listers for a buddy flick  says it’s impossible to do so. “No two heroes are willing to work together.I think the last time two A-listers came together was for Ali Abbas Zafar’s Gunday where ArjunKapoor and Ranveer Singh played buddies. That’s it. Even Varun Dhawan had such an awful experience doing Dilwale he has vowed to do only solo starrers.”

Adds trade analyst Atul Mohan, “The end of the era  of multi-starrers has been almost like the death of a favourite formula. Where are today’s Bachchans, Khannas, Kapoors, Sinhas,Dharmendras, Jeetendras etc who used to come together for multistarrers? Todays we have only a handful of multistarrers ,and that too with one big star and other supporting stars who don’t have much draw as solo, such as the Housefull series.All the leading stars want to do solo films as they think they have huge draw independently and sharing screen space would mean sharing the credit of success as well. But just imagine  the boxofficecollections of a film if today a film brings together  any one Khans with Akshay, Hritik, Ajay etc! What would be the boxoffice numbers be? One should try and you never know this may re-start old much-missed era of the multi-starrer.”[tooltip type=”box” html=”Input Your Content Here” box_background_color=”#eeeeee” box_opacity=”0.95″ box_padding=”10″ box_border_color=”#3F3F3F” box_border_width=”1″ box_border_radius=”0″ id=”88b6af99531f838ed90aed058b7d870a” /][tooltip type=”box” html=”Salman Khan Bollywood Actor” box_background_color=”#eeeeee” box_opacity=”0.95″ box_padding=”10″ box_border_color=”#3F3F3F” box_border_width=”1″ box_border_radius=”0″ id=”c1b465420d07c688942ed18eadfd9f92″ /]
