First of all, SRK and AK don't play Gods in their films. Maybe
you are referring to Tamil cinema icon MGR who was fanatically

do such things like building temples for their stars. Its strange
just like the obsession for old actors in America. I've read that
George Clooney all of 45 years old had been voted the sexiest man
once. LOL. And Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins are still hot.
