Of late, there have been some extensive debates, conversations (and unfortunately) arguments too over the whole insider v/s outsider phenomenon. While this could well be true for any industry, it gets noticed the most in Bollywood due to the glamour quotient involved with it. There are some insiders who are successful but then there are also outsiders, who have made Bollywood their home.
Three such major stars who have been successful in making that happen for them are Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham.
Shah Rukh Khan’s story is what legends are made of, Akshay Kumar has been an epitome of hard work while John Abraham has been all about making his choices count. While Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar’s story goes three decades back in time, even John Abraham has been consistency personified, what with an initial struggle that goes more than two decades back.

Mumbai, May 6: Filmmaker Anurag Basu, who started his direction career with 1996 hit daily soap "Tara", says films should not be considered superior to television and adds that filmmaking is easier.
He also directed TV shows "Star Bestsellers" and "Koshish... Ek Aashaa" before making his big screen debut with 2003 movie "Saaya" starring John Abraham and Tara Sharma.

May 14, 2010: Anurag Basu confesses to Jyothi Venkatesh that though Kangana Ranaut has always been his lucky mascot right from the time he had made Gangster with her, he did not consider her for Kites, because she has done bigger roles and he did not want to waste her in a small role in a film where already there were bigger roles for bigger stars like Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori.
Is Kites the costliest film of yours till date?
I confess that Kites is the costliest film that I have made ever since I had started my career with Saaya. Till date, whether it was Saaya or Murder or for that matter Gangster.
