# Kumar Sanu says Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan were typecast 2026-08-15T00:57:34+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Veteran singer Kumar Sanu has said the Hindi film industry typecasts successful actors and singers into fixed images. In an exclusive interview with Zoom, Sanu said his voice was associated with romantic songs after music directors noticed its quality. He compared this to Shah Rukh Khan being made into a romantic hero and Amitabh Bachchan acquiring the 'Angry Young Man' persona. Sanu said that whatever works becomes a trend: 'If one movie becomes a hit, at least six films similar to it are made.' He also spoke about his one song in 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' ('Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam'), saying everyone knows the story of why he did not sing more for Yash Raj Films after that, alluding to past disagreements over fees. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: Amitabh Bachchan, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kumar Sanu, Shah Rukh Khan, Yash Raj Films Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kumar-sanu-says-shah-rukh-khan-amitabh-bachchan-were-typecast/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
