Heh, there can be only two kinds of commercial movies in
the world - that focussing on action or love. Wayne used
to do only western movies which is one category of
action movies. SRK has done movies of different types
based on love. A Devdas is completely different character 
than his characters in Mohabatein or a K3G. An Amitabh
used to be famous for only action movies like Lawaris or 
Don or Deewar though the characters in them were different.
A Rajesh Khanna used to do only love stories but i can vouch
that the characters in Aradhana or an Amar Prem were 
completely different. All these claims of SRK being stereotyped 
is nothing else but bilge.

Like porno "Eyes wide shut"? C'mon, Cruise is actually no longer
giving hits like before and so has invariably gone to do 
roles with realistic scripts. Till he was a Box Office king, he
used to do movies like Days of Thunder, Cocktail etc. Every actor
or actress goes into arty roles once their films fail at the
BO by a dozen so that they can remain in the news. Take Karisma or 
Raveena or Tabu for example. No one does them because of the liking 
for such films. An Ajay Devgan is doing those small-budget movies
because most of his big-budget ones have failed. That dosen't mean you
start blaming the actors who are commercial successes for not doing
realistic scripts.

> Popularity does not automatically equal quality.  

Then why only his films are doing well at the BO? AFAIK, Salman
Khan, Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan are also very popular.
