See anyway those stardom days are gone. Nobody is going to be superstar anyway. There are so many actors and platforms these days. So that's not going to be there.. Also ofcourse his hype during TB must be more and now it must have decreased. Because it is was more about MK..I don't really know how much hype Wahaj or any other actor has. But I do see the hype on YouTube and Twitter where there are these comments like who is here for Wahaj & so on..
I see hum tv suggestions of Wahaj's old show..Jisme he wasn't even the lead but now he is on the poster 😂
Yeah those stardom days are gone.
Now it's really the show or the cktr that is the breakout hit but that hype and fandom for the show does not fully carry over to the actor's next projects. We see this Wahaj now. But we have seen this with Farhan (where MH hype did not carry over to JS) and Ahmed Ali Akbar (the Parizaad fame did not garner any buzz for Idiot). Even Bilal had so much hype after Cheekh and PKS but he had a lull phase right after. Affan too had so much hype with 2 Bol and look now.
I think this is the era where content is king and not stars.
Only very few ptv actors break through to establish a stardom where their name and their presence is the star attraction. Fawad is one of them. Humayoun also. Like people say Fawad or Humayoun ka drama ya film aa rahi hai. But for the new lot, they would say Parizaad or Murtasim ka naya drama drama aa raha hai. I hesitate to put Danish here because he has that buzz when he dons one certain avatar. When he has a different avatar, the hype does not carry over.
The Fawads and Humayoun's have transcended hit or flop issues. Even a flop wouldn't make a dent to their stardom. Like you said, I don't think if it is even possible to have this stardom anymore. Bilal could be an interesting test case. Unlike the other guys, he has now had multiple iconic cktrs to his name. Does that mean his stardom will manage to rise above his shows & cktrs? Too early to say anything though. It's a a very fickle and fast moving marketplace now.
