Many old timers claim that Shammi-kapoor had created as much or more frenzy than Rajesh kahanna and hence in actual terms the first super-star

SHAMMI WAS SUPER STAR BEFORE RAJESH KHANNA. HE WAS HEART THROB OF GALS IN THOSE DAYS. HOW CAN OLDIES FORGET HIS STEPS? A SMALL CLARIFICATION IN THOSE DAYS THERE WERE GOOD ACTORS ONLY NOT STARSLIKE DILIP, DEVANAND

The definition of Superstar by today's standards must have been unthought of in those days - but yes Shammi Kapoor was on the scene earlier than Rajesh Khanna. He ruled the roost till Kakaji's advent in about 1969.
I've included some links of websites where you can find lots of info on the 50's, 60's and 70's movie industry in Mumbai and on these two wonderful actors.
Enjoy!!

Ajoo
I am not exactly an old timer, but I recall that even during his hay days Shammi was NEVER repeat NEVER acknowledged as a good actor or a star . He used more of his hands & feet than facial muscles .Dilip Kumar , raj Kapoor & Dev Anand evoked much more frenzy among cinegoers.Shammi was a cheapo meant for front benchers
