'There are no heroes left in Bollywood, now anyone can do a film', why did Sajid Khan say this

Filmmaker-director Sajid Khan is of the opinion that there are no heroes any longer in Bollywood. Instead, only lead actors are present today. The heroes were actually present during the previous times. Sajid Khan, who is usually surrounded by controversies, is of this opinion about today's actors. Sajid Khan has now presented his arguments while discussing about it.

During a conversation with comedian Bharti Singh on her YouTube channel, Sajid Khan talked about the Bollywood industry and actors. Sajid Khan says that there are no heroes in Bollywood today. Talking about the lifestyle of heroes of the olden days, Sajid said, “Earlier heroes lived a luxurious and fun life. Today, there are no heroes. There are leads. There are very few heroes. The heroes who were earlier are now leads. Now, anyone can do a film. Because the meaning of a hero is very less. The meaning of a hero is left only in the South. Only then is their entry explosive. That is why they can never do something in the film that will be wrong for society because they are heroes. That is why we have never heard the word superlead, but have heard superhero.

The producer-director further said, “Actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, and Mithun Chakraborty were heroes. Even if they played villains or different characters sometimes. These were the real crowd-pullers. Earlier heroes did not need a good body. Vinod Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan did not have a good body, but the anger was in their eyes, action was in the eyes, not in the thighs. Salman Khan brought the craze of body building in Bollywood. People were shocked to see his six-pack abs in the first poster of 'Maine Pyar Kiya'. But he did not become a hero because of six-pack abs. Now it has become a common thing. Now it is mandatory to have six-packs. There should be sharpness and anger in the eyes.
