Salman Khan calls Anil Kapoor the only replacement to Amitabh Bachchan: Why this comparison makes sense

Firstpost  

If one were to look for synonym for ‘relevance’ in Bollywood’s lexicon, chances are that it might throw up Anil Kapoor as an option. His latest film Race 3 is the third in the Race franchise and while it has seen actors like Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna and John Abraham go in and out of the series, Anil is the only constant. While talking to media persons recently as part of Race 3 promotions, when asked about Anil, Salman Khan quipped that if there is any replacement to Amitabh Bachchan in the current era, it is only Anil Kapoor. The echo of the actor’s current reinvention could also be heard in Hollywood when he appeared in film like Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Slumdog Millionaire. It is a no-brainer that the third phase of Anil’s reinvention is currently on and one can only expect miracles in Fanney Khan and Total Dhamaal, not forgetting Race 3.
