Well, one can't complain SRK for not playing a variety of roles. The reason is, once a Star becomes a SuperStar, he's entitled to stick to his image, because he needs to satisfy those 'certain' expectations that people have for him. Well, Amitabh could only be in action roles earleir in his career and all masala flicks after that. Rajinikanth in Tamil cannot afford to experiment. No complaints, because these guys are like money making machines for the producers. If they deviate from their image driven formulas, and if those movies don't click at the box-office, the loss is enormous. So why do all that? That's why we have Aamir in Hindi and KamalHassan in Tamil...
