Many of these actors have delivered blockbuster films and set new records. Allu Arjun topped the list after the massive success of the Pushpa franchise, which made him a pan-India superstar. Shah Rukh Khan, often called the King of Bollywood, continues to dominate with his recent films. Yash, known for the KGF series, has also gained a massive fan base, securing a high rank on the list.
The ranking highlights the increasing dominance of South Indian actors in pan-India cinema. Stars like Prabhas, Ram Charan, Vijay, Jr NTR, and Dhanush have made a strong impact with their performances. Their films have attracted audiences across India, breaking language barriers.
Although Mahesh Babu has a massive following in Telugu cinema, his reach at the pan-India level is still growing. He is currently working on SSMB29, a big-budget film directed by Rajamouli. This project is expected to be his biggest pan-Indian release, which could help him climb higher in future rankings.
