Why would Abhishek not be over hyped?
If you or me had belonged to "THE" family of Bollywood would you not be over hyped????????
Shantanu and Nisha, you would have been equally hyped. But is that the parameter for performance, then it is not even worth performing for an actor.
Please do not tag him to that stature. Consider him equal to any actor in the league. Give the actor his space.
He may not be at the top of his league but he has created his own space with movies like "Bunty aur Bubli" and "Bluffmaster". I have always heard actors saying that some roles were offered to them but for some reason some one else got them and ultimately the replaced actors got all the credit and beneft. THAT IS WHAT DESTINY IS!!!!!! Is that not how life has instore for all of us.
He is an actor who is worth watching for and it is us (as a public) who is responsible for over hyping him not him.
Do you think that we can have actors like Om Puri or Anupam Kher (for his acting in "Saraansh") in this age in Cinema but even at that the Amitabh's or Dharamendra's we were still ruling the industry. So the industry is like that and so is the public.
I strongly think that we should let him label him for anything.
I feel that Sharukh is a very over rated actor as far as his acting skills are concerned. Although at the same time I agree that he has some sort of on screen charisam which just attracts us to his movies but his acting is pathetic. It may be because he has risen from what we all are today.
He is just another struggling and talented actor who wants to come out of his father's shadow. Believe this is not an easy task to accomplish if you are the son of the "BIG B"
