Fans miss Shah Rukh Khan in Variety India cover
On February 1, Variety India released the first-ever cover of its magazine featuring Salman, Ajay, Akshay and Aamir. The cover described them as, “Unshakable. The superheroes that broke the rules of stardom.” The photo featured Akshay seated on a couch, while Salman, Aamir and Ajay stood behind him with their hands on each other’s shoulders.
Fans reacted strongly to the cover picture. One comment read, “Wow, this looks amazing!! I love this. Missing SRK, though — it would’ve been a complete picture. Akshay looks so good, though. A lot of aura in just one pic.” Another wrote, “SRK should have been in this as well.” One user commented, “Missing SRK in this — that would have been a generational pic.” Another wrote, “This picture is incomplete without SRK.” Others asked, “Where’s SRK?” while one comment read, “Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan also deserved to be in this pic.”
However, many fans were also delighted to see the four superstars together. One fan commented, “What a legendary frame.” Another wrote, “Totally unexpected.” Others described it as “four pillars of Bollywood” and “four legends in one frame.”
