> Also, who's the Kevin Bacon of Bollywood?

Almost certainly Shah Rukh Khan.

The thing about Kevin Bacon is he's b list yet still highly connected.

Shah Ruh Khan is more like George Clooney or something.

Kevin Bacon is objectively an A-list actor.

Most he ever made for a film was $6M and vast majority of films were $1M or less.

> B-List: Highly successful, dependable actors who frequently star in popular television series or play vital supporting/co-leading roles in major films, but rarely headline a massive blockbuster entirely on their own. Examples: Cult favorites, popular TV leads, or emerging block-buster stars.

I mean. Footloose. But his list of stinkers is so epic it overshadows his peak movies. His career is an iceberg, with only the tiniest but showing above the popularity line.

I would say that the logical drop-in replacement is Aamir Khan.

It was probably Amitabh Bachchan at one point, right?
