Director-choreographer Farah Khan has reflected on how the era of superstars is over, criticising new actors for interfering in directors' decisions out of insecurity. Speaking on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi’s show Double Date, Farah contrasted young actors' lack of trust with the discipline of actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. She highlighted that while newcomers micro-manage casting and music, established stars place complete faith in their directors.
