The numbers are in for the last three years and the list of top actors in Bollywood is out…
Here are the Top 12. Feel free to comment.
1. Aamir Khan: Occupies the top slot with just three films – Taare Zameen Par, Ghajini and 3 Idiots. Also called ‘God’ in industry circles today because of his overpowering star status and his penchant for good scripts and marketing wizardry. With a combined domestic nett collection (after tax) of Rs 377 crore and counting (3 Idiots is still making money), he ranks way ahead of Shah Rukh Khan, with a per film net collection average of Rs 125.83 crore.
2. Shah Rukh Khan: Falls way behind Aamir with a collection average of Rs 77.67 crore. The films under consideration? Chak De, Om Shanti Om and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi that collected around Rs 233 crore.
