Variety 500 Annual List 2019: Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Ekta Kapoor Make It To The List
Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Ekta Kapoor and others make it to Variety third Annual 500 list of important people in global media. It is the description of Aamir that struck us as the most interesting.
Variety released the list of 500 most important people in Global media. Out of that 10 are Indians and they are Shah Rukh Khan, Ekta Kapoor, Aamir Khan, Aditya Chopra, Ronnie Screwvala, Uday Shankar, Kalanithi Maran along with Mukesh Ambani and Kishore Lulla. Variety makes an interesting observation regarding Aamir Khan while describing why he is on the list. It writes, "After decades as a hugely popular Bollywood actor-producer-director, the 2018 Khan starrer Thugs of Hindostan was a disappointment — but only by his own exalted standards." Well, we don't think it did the business of any standards. But that's a discussion for another day. Aamir Khan’s Daughter Ira Khan Shares A Sizzling Hot New Photograph On Instagram
If you are wondering why Shah Rukh Khan is on the list, Variety explains, "A thriving actor-producer, he co-produced “Zero,” in 2018 through his VFX house Red Chillies Entertainment, but it underwhelmed. Undeterred, Red Chillies hit big with thriller “Badla” in 2019, and the company has its eight-episode political espionage series “Bard of Blood” currently running on Netflix." He was also part of the list in 2018. So just a regular it seems.
Well, do check out the list to know why others are part of it. We would want to leave it at these two who didn't have a sing;e release in 2019.
