Imposing of the title "Superstar" to an ordinary actor .

Recently In a Bengali Reality Show while performing  a programme an artist commented on one  senior Actor of present Bengali  film as a superstar and compared him with Amitabh Bacchan. Also a good number of people hold the similar view.

The Actor is yet to be a Senior Sitizen . In our Bengali film there is a custom for self marking as Super star. If my memory does not betray one hero declared himself as Super star.The entire matter is very funny and the same happens only in our Bengali film Industry .  The incident indeed is interesting. To me during our life time only one Actor of Bengali film enjoyed the image of super star during thirty years of his career. He enjoyed unprecedented popul arity and unbelievable devotion to his work.
The name of the Artist is "Uttamkumar".In all aspects he was genuinely a Superstar. His appearance , personality , acting , mannerism etc. automatically turned him to a Superstar.Besides Him to me no actor earned so popularity .

Prior to Uttam Kumar possibly Durgadas Banerjee and Pramatesh Barua were Super stars during their time which is long back.

Presently   the actor whom we want to mark as Superstar does not deserve at all due to the following reasons. Firstly His appearance . Secondly the acting is stereo type and has no variation. Thirdly Pronunciation is not at all good etc. These are all deficiencies for being a Superstar.  He worked in most of the films which were of very poor standard  . The comparison with Amitabh Bachhan is either tragedy or comedy !

THIS IS HOWEVER,  MY PERSONAL OPINION .
