Mohanlal, Amitab Bachan might be one of the best actors, but when it comes to box office draw and collections, its only the current Hindi, Tamil and Telugu stars who acceed to the top. Here is the top 10 (based on their recent films' BO performances).
1. Rajnikanth (Tamil) -> His latest film SIVAJI has collected close to 150cr share worldwide, making it the biggest blockbuster in the history of indian films, even beating SHOLAY by a close margin though. His previous film Chandramukhi amazed a record 115 crores share. Undisputed king of South India and Overseas.
2. Shah Rukh Khan (hindi) -> Whether he acts or not, whether people like his mannerism or not, his movies sell, and they sell big. His latest OSO, sold for 75 crores is a testimony to his box office draw. Overseas, he is simply the king, second only to Rajni. Even an avg movie of his like Don collected more than 70 crores worldwide.
3. Chiranjeev (Telugu) -> Four of his recent movies in the last 6 years, netted more than 32 crores (Indra, Tagore, Shankardada MBBS, Stalin), with his movie Tagore celebrating 100 days in about 190 theatres. Indian Record !!!! Andhra's No 1 by miles.
