The role of the leading ladies is coming down these days. Story is everything now. Dangal is the fine example for this. Even the role of the hero is toned down. Sakshi Tanwar is from TV and has no big back ground nor she has a lot of glamour.
Now Aamir is planning a movie on astronaut Rakesh Sharma and there is no need of a star heroine. Story is the hero says Aamir.The audience are also matured and they are looking at the freshness of a movie and not on the glamour of the leading lady.
Even Dear Jindagi and Fan also were hero oriented and story oriented; the leading lady was just ornamental. One can say the days of Sridevi are over. Even in Raees the leading lady has no importance. It is about the story of an illicit liquor seller and mostly based on the acting of the hero and his negative ability.
One has to get the story right and an able director to narrate the story. Even Salman, Hrithik are also in the same route. Salman is dependent on stories from the Tollywood and writers from Tollywood. He is making remakes of success films of the Tollywood.
Akshay is also not very particular about his leading ladies.There is no craving for the star heroines. Good story, right director, budget are the main things that the movie experts are considering these days.
Marketing is the other aspect. Publicity and promotion of the movie is the most important thing.
The latest movie of Salman Tube light has a relatively new leading lady. Here also story is the hero.
