Who's the bigger Khan: Aamir or SRK?
Both Aamir Khan [All About Aamir] and Shah Rukh [All About SRK] Khan pulled out all stops to promote their home productions last year, and though SRK seemed to have topped the box-office charts in 2007, Aamir seems all set to reign showbiz in 2008.
Aamir's forthcoming film, a remake of the Tamil thriller Ghajini [Southern star Asin in Ghajini] has reportedly already made Rs 90 crore.
According to reports, the Indian Film Company has bagged the domestic distribution rights for the Aamir Khan-starrer for an estimated Rs 53 crore. While its home video rights, overseas rights and satellite rights have been sold for another Rs 40 crore. Which brings the grand total to Rs 93 crore.
"With Aamir at the helm we are convinced that Ghajini [Ghajini rolls, Hollywood style] will be one of the biggest films of 2008, so it's a fair deal for us," CEO of TFC Advisors, Sandeep Bhargava said.
Until now, the record for pre-release movie rights was for King Khan's Om Shanti Om, which was Rs 73 crore. The reported record price that Ghajini has fetched now puts Aamir one notch above Shah Rukh Khan as both actor and producer.
While Shah Rukh's Om Shanti Om [OSO at the Berlin Film Festival] has made over Rs 90 crore in its 15th week, Aamir's Taare Zameen Par [OUT NOW! Filmfare nominations] has already made Rs 85 crore in its eighth week. This despite the fact that Aamir's film was considered a more niche product.
"The number of prints that we released for TZP is just 470 as opposed to 800 plus prints of most blockbusters. Yet, the film stayed on the sheer basis of its merit," head of distribution, PVR, Gaurav Verma said.
So while Shah Rukh Khan's overpowering presence everywhere makes him the more popular star, it looks like, Aamir Khan's saleability justifies his reported asking price of Rs 7 crore for a film.
URBANEYE
Aamir khan is the best shahrukh khan is good but not best as
aamir
Aamir is the true ruler of bollywood. I just love him.
Sharukh on the other hand is a good actor but a bigger star
while aamir is an ace, uber actor. He just rocks on screen.
Muah.
Shahrukh khan is the most over-rated actor in the industry.
aamir rules and nothing can possibly alter
that.Hahaha..Try as hard as you can..Hahaha.
Aamir is the emperor khan...
Aamir is greater actor than srk bcoz he's da
perfect.......See d in10ct in his acting ...Even kajol likes
aamir more than srk
No comments for whats been said for the born leader, he has
made his fate and lives it!!
people who belive hes not "even an actor" should
dig their existence in the world, even when re born will not
be able to comment upon srk.
about aamir khan, hes a good actor. I would not say he is
over rated or not deserving! Every one has flops, so does
srk and so does aamir.

1)mela year 2000
2)earth&mann year 1999
3)ghulam year 1998

p.S: there are many more recent ones, but i still cant and
dont say aamir khan is over rated or bad coz hes a fine
actor!!
but yeah ! Superstar.. Shah rukh khan!
I think srk great actor in india.I believe, aamir is good
actor.But he don't greater than srk.Srk is popular actor.He
is my favourite actor.
Of course, srk is the bigger. In fact, he is the biggest
ever star of bollywood. Aamir is much behind. Before aamir
there are others...
Srk is bollywood's most overrated actor...(oops he is not
even an actor) star ever. By far the self proclaimed king
has been winning all the polls regarding india's most
overrated celebrity... A true superstar is some one as aamir
says can singuarly pull in an audience in the first week to
the theatre .... So far only aamir has been fullfilling the
requiremet.....Srk is all hype no substance ...I cant
beleive that srk's flops are not even dicussed anywhere
where as aamir's flops r discussed everywhere and not his
hits.. It is actually the self proclaimed king khan who is
honored with the maximum no of flops ...24 is guaranteed but
there might be some more which i can''t think of .... Aamir
has flops that can be counted on the fingers unlike srk
...Lol
Aamir is bigger.
aamir is 43. Srk is 42.
happy b'day aamir.
