Overview
- In a Pinkvilla interview published November 20, Oberoi argued that fame fades across generations and suggested that by 2050 some might not recognize Shah Rukh Khan.
- He framed the point by noting that younger fans of Ranbir Kapoor may not know Raj Kapoor despite the latter’s revered status in cinema history.
- Reports stressed Khan’s present-day stature, citing three 2023 blockbusters that collectively grossed over ₹2,600 crore and his first National Award for Best Actor for Jawan.
- Coverage also noted Khan’s cameo and producer credit on Aryan Khan’s Netflix debut series and the teaser for his next film, King, released on his 60th birthday.
- Reaction on social platforms ranged from dismissive to supportive of Oberoi’s view, media noted he is promoting Mastiii 4, and no response from Khan was reported.
