//but the problem is that present-day rajnikant is a much bigger star than what bachchan was during the end of his hero days//

1)proof? for bachan's image smaller in his end-hero days??

1a)if so why wasnt CM released all over india?

2)is he being bigger a PROBLEM? i thought u will think the otherway. he he

Bachan's fame was largley due to the fact he acted in the national Language film(hindi), which has wider audience than regional languages like , so every actor acted in Hindi is known to all in India, even actors like Govinda.

But from south, many normal mumbai wallahs;s don't know much south Indian actors, except Rajni,Kamal and Chranjeeve(to some extent), this applies to all, SPB is a far better singer than Rafi, if u ask a mumbai wallah, he would not know who SPB is, but all of them would have heard his voice and his blockbusters like Maine Pyar Kiya, saajan, Ek Duche kiliye,..etc. , but all Indian know who Rafi is cos he sang in the national language(hindi) so he was bound to famous no matter what, if SPB was born and bought in delhi and became Hindi singer, and Rafi in south, it would be totaly different story!

Did Amitabh act in Tamil film?

Did Rafi sing any mallu /Tamil song?

The fact remains, that Rajnikanth is the HIGHEST paid actor in India, does it not prove something?
