One of the most absurd rumors to come out of bollywood is that all khans are planning to band together against the Bachchans as part of one big khan led lobby, refusing to work with them and so on, and that is supposed to be a big problem. That is being beyond delusional. Have these people forgotten that khans themselves are facing serious charges that can keep them from working period? Apart from that, they are all entering middle age soon and will have to face that music that every artist has to go into. They are in no position to isolate the Bachchans. Salman Khan for example himself needs Amitabh Bachchan to finish his film God Tussi Great Ho where Bachchan is playing his God.
Even otherwise, making a caravan out against the Bachchans is not a good idea for a number of deeper reasons which themselves would need whole articles. But suffice to say, this is the same India and Hindi film industry where Hamid Khan had to call himself Ajith in order to get work. They don't want to return back to those days do they?
More matter of factly, and practically in terms of need, a Guru could not be stopped from smashing the box office just because Saif Ali Khan did not do the 2nd lead to Abhishek Bachchan. Dhoom 1 and Dhoom 2 were both super successful despite one featuring John Abraham alongside Abhishek Bachchan and the other featuring Hrithik Roshan alongside Abhishek Bachchan and neither featuring a single Khan.

And as we speak, Amitabh Bachchan's Cheeni Kum is going toe to toe with a big budget multistarrer also featuring him, with both emerging moneymakers.
Even if the rumors of all the khans conspiring against the Bachchans were true, India is not lacking in actors, aspiring directors; talented men and women who would love for a chance to break into bollywood and work with any member of Bollywood's first family. New actors from underrepresented sections of the country, new star directors will be developed out of that, and they would love to get that opportunity. New Madhavans, new Upen Patels, new Balkrishnans, new Sanjeev Kumars, new Dharmendras, new Shatrughan Sinhas, new Shashi Kapoors, new Mithun Chakrobartys will emerge.
Trying to isolate the Bachchans, therefore, will instead end up isolating out the isolaters themselves. For that and many other reasons, it is not a good idea.

First, the fundamentals. This farming family is actually a prominent Srivastava family of U.P. Harivansh Rai Srivastava who's the U.P. anchor took on the nickname Bachchan (which means child or kid in colloquial U.P. dialect) to promote the sales of his book of poems. The sons conveniently latched onto this common nickname as their surnames. It's about time this is set right. Since the family is tending to go back to their farming roots, Abhishek would do well to be known henceforth as Abhi Shake ' Babua ' Srivastava. The Srivastava is self-explanatory. The ' Babua' would both denote his linkage with the Bachchans and is a much more commonly used form of the colloquialism for children or kids then 'Bachchan' these days. Getting down to the matter of beards or sideburns, in true farming tradition he may sport them in less visible places which his Daddy 'rubber-stamped' and Mummy approved newly wedded wife can have a peek at.

Bachchan ka Bura Bolne walo tumhara muu Kaala, Dil bhi tumhara kaala aur Lahu bhi Kaala Eh Saala. Anti Bachchans koyle ki guffa se aye hai kaale dilwale kaali zabaan wale aur kaali soch waale.
