Recently, a blind item published by The Opinionated Indian hinted at a once-unstoppable superstar struggling to adapt to changing audience tastes. Once known for delivering back-to-back hits and juggling multiple projects at a time, the actor now finds himself facing box-office fatigue as the industry evolves. Insiders say he’s been ignoring advice to slow down and be more selective — a move that could cost him dearly if the dry spell continues.

Blind Item

This superstar was the biggest box office draw in the country for a short while before the pan-India superstars from down South took over. He used to have 4-5 releases every year & most of them used to be hits. But the pandemic changed the content preferences of the movie-going audience. Shoddy scripts don't work anymore, even if the movie stars big names. He has barely had 1-2 successes in the last few years. His producers have bled money. As per a source, his well-wishers have been advising him to reduce his workload & be choosy about the movies he greenlights.  But he has not been paying heed to this advice. He is used to a certain schedule & not being on set working on his movies is not something he is used to. He is incredibly talented, but a demanding audience won't come to the theatres unless the word of mouth convinces them to watch it right away & not wait for its OTT release. A few more bad years & he will be forced to take up character roles.

People who are close to him say that producers and friends had advised him several times to take a step back, concentrate on quality rather than quantity, and refresh his image. But the actor, who is used to his strict routine and a full calendar, is said to be always restless and is even reported as feeling that way without being on the set. He is notorious for getting up at dawn, shooting at several places in one day, and simultaneously managing different brand endorsements, OTT contracts, and film shooting—such a schedule that very few in Bollywood can compete with. Unfortunately, that very speed may now be a disadvantage for the actor's career, as the audience grows more discerning and overwhelmed by content at the same time.

Moreover, the superstar's private life has added to the noise and chatter and has been a topic of discussion in recent months. The rumors hint at a growing rift between him and his wife that is being caused by his constant traveling and workaholic lifestyle. Some even claim that he has been seeing a co-actor from one of his recent films more than usual, leading to rumors of a relationship going beyond the professional. The actor's team, as is their practice, has denied any domestic conflict, asserting that everything is fine—yet the gossip mills produce quite a different version of the story.
