There are 2 types of stars in any film industry. In Bollywood stars like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan are very very popular. Their films and their style of acting is very commercial, it is entertaining too and they earn crores and crores of rupees. Then there are actors like Anupam Kher, Irrfan Khan and Boman Irani.
The more you think about them, the more you look back at the movies and the roles they have done, you realize that they are legends in their own rights too. They are not super popular or super rich stars, but they are fabulous actors. They have performed all their roles so magnificently, that you forget that they are stars, and you see them purely as their characters in the film. Contrasting that with the Khans, they are always stars and very very rarely we actually see them as the characters in the film.
Anupam Kher is an old timer, and has done lots and lots of films. I remember him right from Kuch Kuch Hota Hain, Wednesday, DDLJ, etc. He was never the hero and rarely did he have the primary role in his movies, but whatever role he had, he performed magnificently. He has done huge number of films, and won many awards too, here's his wiki page.
Lets talk about Irrfan. This guy is comparatively new, but whatever roles he has done have been jaw dropping. Consider the latest film Haider. The film is a big bore in the first half, and then Irrfan comes, all different story after that. Also was watching 'The Amazing Spiderman' yesterday, and he has played a wonderful role there too, proves he is an internationally acclaimed actor. Here's his wiki page.
Just to prove why I wrote about them, in their wiki page you would find, both are Padma Shri award winners!! Kudos!!!
