The mystery behind the making of superstar Shah Rukh is something that has evoked enthusiasm among the followers of Indian Cinema. Anupama Chopra decodes the mystique by referring to Amitabh Bachchan.

According to Anupama, “Fans rarely thought of Vijay and Amitabh Bachchan as one. Vijay was working class, seething, and sometimes brutal. Amitabh, in person, was highly cultured and sophisticated.

“But with Shah Rukh, the distance between the actor and image blurred. The audience believed that Shah Rukh was Raj . He every girl’s fantasy lover, every sister’s brother, every mother’s son. In short, a superstar.”
