New Delhi, Sept 07: What happens when the perfectionist decides to go prolific? We get to see more of Aamir and have a blast of perfect performances vie for our attention. The prolific bug has now bitten Aamir Khan, after having made Shah Rukh Khan give one hit after another for a decade. Now the superstar is treading with a choosy gait, and the perfectionist is on a movie-making binge.

After the thunderous success of ‘OSO’ a year ago, Shah Rukh is yet to deliver another flick. We will only see a cameo-bit of Shah Rukh in ‘Billo Barber’, and then there will be ‘Rab ne…’ not hitting the market before 2009.

On the other hand, Aamir, the stickler for perfection, will give a treat of a lifetime to his fans with at least four movies lined up in the near future. ‘Ghajini’ is slated for a Christmas release. Soon after, ‘3 Idiots’ will hit the market, followed by a sequel of comedy ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ and a home production thriller to top it all. Aamir’s fan will get to see him more than ever before in the months to come.

The role-reversal has puzzled the fans of both the superstars. Shah Rukh’s guarded slow down after a decade of successful movie marketing hints at the mellowed outlook of the tornado worker, and an urge to cash in the fruits of the golden era of one’s career in the case of Aamir.

This change can spell some intrinsic image makeovers for the superstars, too. One stops to wonder if Shah Rukh’s words will stand the test of time when he said: “Aamir will always be a better actor than me, and I will always earn more than him!”
