Shah Rukh Khan is India’s richest actor, Salman Khan follows close behind | Entertainment News

Bollywood’s ‘bhai’ Salman Khan is flexing his box office muscles with a net worth of Rs 2,900 crore, Forbes report said. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar isn’t far behind, stacking up an impressive Rs 2,500 crore, and Aamir Khan’s treasure chest clocks in at Rs 1,862 crore.

But hold onto your popcorn, because the South isn’t just setting records — it’s smashing them to smithereens! Icons like Thalapathy Vijay and Rajinikanth are on a rampage. Vijay’s ‘Leo’ roared to become Tamil cinema’s highest-grosser, hauling in a staggering Rs 612 crore, while he’s sitting pretty with a net worth of around Rs 474 crore. Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer’ also packed a punch, bagging a cool Rs 110 crore and adding to his fortune of Rs 430 crore.

And who could forget Allu Arjun, the man behind the hit ‘Pushpa: The Rise’? He’s gearing up to drop ‘Pushpa: The Rule – Part 2’, and Forbes pegs his star power at Rs 350 crore. Meanwhile, Prabhas, the heartthrob of ‘Baahubali’ fame, continues his reign with ‘Salaar’, stacking up a solid net worth of Rs 241 crore.

These stars not only dominate screens but also command substantial paychecks for their blockbuster performances. Take a look:

These stars aren’t just raking in the big bucks — they’re also challenging Hollywood heavyweights like Dwayne Johnson and Tom Cruise in the net worth game. It’s not just lights, camera, action — it’s Southern spice, blockbuster hits, and pure entertainment rewriting the rules of world cinema.
