There was a time in Bollywood when Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan’s names were enough to make a movie super hit at the box office.

But from the past couple of years, that’s not happening. Last year, Race 3, Zero and Thugs Of Hindostan, all the three films starring the three Khans failed to make a mark at the box office. It is said that their stardom is fading away.

Recently, while talking about it, Salman said, “It will always fade away. And it is a huge task to keep it going for a long time. I think Shah Rukh, Aamir, Akshay and I are the only ones who have been able to put it up for such a long time. And we will try our best to keep it going for another few years.”

“I know of superstars, jinka phir later on jaake box office collection 8-10 per cent aata hai. So that is going to happen to us as well. But I don’t think so it has started yet,” he added.

Salman is currently busy with the promotions of Bharat which is slated to hit the screens on 5th June 2019. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the movie also stars Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Sunil Grover, Nora Fatehi, Jackie Shroff and Sonali Kulkarni.
