Dalip Tahil calls Hrithik Roshan’s graph ‘different’ from Shah Rukh Khan’s: ‘SRK had stepping stones, Hrithik got to that stage in his first film’

The actor added, “Shah Rukh had stepping stones with these films. Darr and DDLJ absolutely endorsed his stardom. But Hrithik got to that stage in his first (film), and that’s the difference. In his very first film, he went from unknown to 15 on 10, straight through the roof. That is a phenomenal feeling.”

Dalip Tahil also mentioned that Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Shah Rukh Khan have their own individual ways of doing things. “You have Shah Rukh Khan, who has got his own stardom, way of doing films, choice of films and the way of performing. It is very different from what Hrithik, Salman and Aamir does. Each of them has their own place. What we have to understand is that they are all part of an eco structure which is the film industry and they all co-exist.”

Lastly, Dalip Tahil said the only thing that matters at the end of the day is whether an actor’s film worked at the box office. “As much as they are in competition with each other in terms of which film does well or which one dominates the box office, but they are really individualistic in their own way. So, I don’t want to go into comparisons. The only comparison the audience sees is whose film worked and whose didn’t. Otherwise, they are completely different and have their own audience. I have a lot of respect for Hrithik Roshan and Aamir to a large extent that after such huge opening films, they have followed up with great films. They have proved themselves each time,” Dalip concluded.
