Mumbai: Actor-turned-businessman Vivek Oberoi is of the view that even a superstar of Shah Rukh Khan’s stature might become a nobody for future generations.
Sharing his thoughts on the fickle nature of fame in an interview with Pinkvilla, Vivek said, “Which film, starring whom from the 1960s, do you ask anyone about today-nobody cares. You will inevitably be relegated to history. In 2050, people might say, ‘Kaun Shah Rukh Khan?’ (Who is Shah Rukh Khan?)”
He added, “Just as people today might ask, ‘Who is Raj Kapoor?’ You and I may call him the god of cinema, but if you ask any youngster who is a fan of Ranbir Kapoor, they might not even know who Raj Kapoor was. So perhaps history eventually relegates us all to nothingness.”
Shah Rukh, who turned 60 earlier this month, received the National Award for Best Actor for his performance in ‘Jawan’.
SRK will next be seen in Siddharth Anand’s ‘King’.
Vivek, on the other hand, is gearing up for the release of ‘Mastii 4’. He will also be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’, alongside Prabhas, Tripti Dimri and Prakash Raj.
