SS Rajamouli's Bahubali 2 (Baahubali 2) has been breaking all box office records, and the film has been praised by many big stars from the south industry. However, the three Khans of Bollywood have not said anything about the movie or its success.

Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are the three superstars of Bollywood, who are considered to be the box office winners. Both Salman and Aamir have two movies in their credit that had crossed Rs 300 crore mark at the Indian box office (Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, PK, Dangal).

However, Bahubali 2 has shattered all the box office records of the Khans, and has become the highest grossing Indian cinema of all time. While the worldwide collection of the Prabhas-starrer has crossed Rs 1000 crore (including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi), Hindi version of the movie alone has crossed Rs 300 crore mark in just 10 days.
While the entire nation is going gaga over the grandness of Bahubali 2, none of the Khans uttered a single word in regard to the regional film that has turned out to be much greater than mainstream Bollywood movies.
Karan Johar, who is one of the most popular film-makers of Bollywood, holds the distribution rights of Bahubali 2 Hindi version. He has been making tweets about the box office success of the film, and has been expressing his happiness. He is known to be quite close to SRK, as the duo have worked together on multiple movies. Still Shah Rukh has not spoken anything about Bahubali 2, not even on Twitter.
On the other side, Salman and KJo are also working on one movie as co-producers that will feature Akshay Kumar as the lead. But Sallu bhai has also remained mum on Bahubali 2 craze. Also, KV Vijayendra Prasad, who has written the magnum opus, is the same script-writer who had written Salman's big hit Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Even Aamir, who claims to be a lover of content-driven movies, apparently did not find anything worthy to speak about the movie that is causing so much noise at the worldwide box office. Aamir's Dangal had released in China recently, and has been getting good response there too. But, that somehow has been overshadowed by the excellent overseas business that Bahubali 2 has been making since its release.
Doesn't this awkward silence from the three Khans of Bollywood suggest that they are either jealous or shocked by the overwhelming success of a regional film like Bahubali 2? You can leave your opinions in the comments section.
