Bollywood actors have proved their charm over and over again

Indian film world Bollywood can’t get enough of its good old, 40-plus actors -- Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn. They ruled the roost in the 1990s and after two decades, they are still calling the shots as they get the best films, meaty roles, highest remuneration and maximum media coverage.

Of course, there are Abhishek Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan and younger heroes like Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan, Abhay Deol and Emraan Hashmi who are a rage, but old continues to be gold at the box office.

Amitabh Bachchan, who is way beyond the 40-mark, has spent over four decades in the Hindi film industry -- but the 68-year-old is nowhere close to fading. He is still playing main characters. After the recent Bbuddah...Hoga Tera Baap, he is set to treat fans with Aarakshan, as well as the fifth season of the reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati. And he isn’t hanging up his boots as long as his body works.
