True. But when I watched AB during the 70's/80's, I could not have pictured him playing a father figure also. And if you note, AB also did stereo typed roles during his hero days. So cannot predict anything.

What AB consciously did was to try to change his image slowly. He even acted in a couple of low budget off-beat films.

It was KBC which gave him a new life. He was simply majestic in that show.

As far as SRK is concerned, I am not his fan but I have nothing against him also. I do watch his movies if they are good. Basically I watch a movie for what it offers me as a value package.

I would go for AB for acting and SRK for good looks,
in fact any random actor or extra is more hansome than AB ;-)

No doubt Amitabh. From side hero in Anand, Chupke-chupke; to angry young man in janzeer, trishul; to comedian in Amar-Akbar-Anthony, Namak Halaal; to action hero in Sholay, Agnipath; to romance in silsila, kabhi kabhi; to character actor in saudagar, black; to tragedy king in sharabi (amitabh's version of devdas), deewar; to many more like hum, cheeni kum, mr. natwar lal, satte pe satta, bagwan etc.

I'm not sure any of the actors can do all varity if roles egually good...

I disagree. There was no question about Amitabh's being handsome while he was in his heydays. Tall guys were in extreme demand from prospective brides back then which refuses to fade.

My vote goes for AB. AB is a legend in his field. He has done so many classic movies which you can watch again & again. I really loved his "Anthony" character in Amar Akbar Anthony. I would have watched that movie more than 30 times & would love to watch it again & again. Other character which I really loved were Jadugar Goga in the movie Jadugar, then Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in Agneepath & many more.

As itsmemad said AB has played all characters from angry young man to lover boy. He is one versatile actor. There's one more versatile actor other than AB who I love a lot, thats Kamal Hassan.

On other side SRK may be the badshaah of box office but only few of his movies have really impressed me. I really loved his Bazigar, Swades & Kal Ho Na Ho. There are only handful of movies which you could remember. & he a kind of one-dimensional actor, most of his roles are of NRI type.

As AB grew, he has started playing the roles of father which he has played superbly. Don't know about SRK how good he would fit into the shoes of father character.

But there's one actor who would always play the hero role how much ever old he is, he is our Super Star Rajnikanth

I really like Rajnikanth ahead of all actors. & more than 90% of people in Tamil Nadu would say the same.
