Meet the only Indian actor with two pan-India films in the ₹1,000 cr club, not Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Allu Arjun
Star power remains one of the strongest indicators of success in the Indian film industry. A recent example is Salman Khan. Despite Sikandar receiving underwhelming reviews, fans still flocked to theatres, proving the power of Salman's stardom. This brings us to the only Indian actor who has achieved a box office feat that even superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, and Allu Arjun haven't. With not one, but two pan-India films crossing the ₹ 1,000 crore mark globally, this icon has set a record in the industry. It is none other than Prabhas. With Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Kalki 2898 AD, Prabhas has carved a place for himself in Indian cinema history, earning the title of the undisputed pan-India superstar. While Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun, and Vicky Kaushal are among the biggest actors in Indian cinema, none of them technically have two pan-India films that have each crossed the ₹ 1,000 crore mark worldwide like Prabhas. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan were massive blockbusters of 2023, crossing ₹ 1,000 crore globally. However, Shah Rukh is still not the only Indian actor with two pan-India films in the ₹ 1,000 crore club. This is because, although both films did cross ₹ 1,000 crore globally, they were primarily Hindi-language films with dubbed versions in other languages. Hence, they don't qualify as true-blue pan-India multilingual releases like Prabhas's films, which were not only shot but also marketed in multiple languages. Similarly, Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise was a huge success during a lull period at the box office. As per Sacnilk, the film crossed the ₹ 350 crore mark worldwide but failed to reach the ₹ 500 crore milestone. Its sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, became the fastest Indian movie to cross the ₹ 1,000 crore mark at the worldwide box office, the tracker reported. However, it is the only film of the actor to have crossed that milestone. As for Vicky Kaushal, although he starred in blockbusters like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Sanju, his latest, Chaava, didn't cross the threshold despite an impressive business at the box office, raking in ₹ 807.88 crore. Released in 2017, Baahubali 2 became a cultural phenomenon. With its breathtaking visuals, grand storytelling, and Prabhas's powerful portrayal of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, the film shattered records, collecting over ₹ 1,788 crore worldwide and ₹ 1,030.42 crore in India, as per Sacnilk. It marked a turning point in Indian cinema, proving regional films' potential on the global stage. Last year, he replicated the success with Kalki 2898 AD alongside Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. The futuristic sci-fi epic, directed by Nag Ashwin, brought Prabhas back into the spotlight. Based on the Mahabharata with science fiction elements, Kalki was a visual spectacle and a magnum opus in itself. Within weeks, it joined the ₹ 1,000 crore club, earning ₹ 1,042.25 crore worldwide and ₹ 646.31 crore in India, according to Sacnilk. Friday marks 1 year since the release of Kalki. Kalki revolved around the epic tale of Lord Krishna cursing Ashwatthama to eternal suffering, only for destiny to set him on a path of redemption by protecting the woman carrying the final avatar of Vishnu, Kalki. The Kalki 2898 AD sequel starring Prabhas is already in the works. The film ended with a title card announcing the Kalki 2898 AD Cinematic Universe. Confirming the sequel, it read: 'To be continued…' Besides Kalki, Prabhas has several projects lined up. He will be starring in the romantic horror comedy The Raaja Saab. Directed by Maruthi, Prabhas plays a triple role in the film. It also features Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt. He also has Hanu Raghavapudi's directorial Fauji as his next. The actor was also roped in for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, which would have reunited him with Deepika Padukone. However, the actress has now been replaced by Triptii Dimri.

The Bollywood industry is home to many famous actors, directors, and producers. From Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, and more, the industry has many families who are affluent and rich. However, do you know who is the richest family in Bollywood? When this question comes up, some of the names that float to mind are SRK, Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar, and more. But let us tell you, it is none of them. Bollywood's Richest Family Is… The richest family in Bollywood has a net worth of a whopping Rs 10,000 crore. Another interesting fact is that this person is neither an actor nor a director! He is none other than T-Series' Bhushan Kumar's family. As per the Hurun Rich List, Bhushan and his family are the richest family in Bollywood. In fact, his family is not just the richest in Bollywood but in the entire Indian cinema industry. As per a report shared by the website Hurun India Rich List, the T-Series family has a net worth of $1.2 billion (over Rs 10,000 crore). Despite having a massive empire of Rs 10,000 crore, there is no superstar in their family.

Source of Income for the Kumars Bhushan Kumar runs the massive business of T-Series with his uncle, Kishan Kumar, who is also the chairman of the company.

How Prabhas, SS Rajamouli, and Hombale Films are the three pillars of pan-India cinema
S.S. Rajamouli is widely regarded as the most influential director of our time. He has played a pivotal role in reshaping Indian cinema. Three of his films — Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), and RRR read more In the ever-evolving realm of entertainment, where cinema is changing at a rapid pace, only a few players reign supreme. Recently, I came across a news article about Hrithik Roshan signing a Hombale Films and that really made me excited because, Hombale Films has delivered few of the biggest visual spectacles. This made me think, who are the biggest Pan India forces and the three biggest names that immediately comes to my mind are Pan-India star Prabhas, acclaimed director S.S. Rajamouli, and one of the most powerful production houses, Hombale Films. The way they have transformed the dynamics of Indian entertainment is nothing short of revolutionary. These are the leading forces of the industry, delivering some of the biggest blockbusters of all time. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD When we talk about Prabhas, he stands tall as a superstar ruling the Pan-India landscape. Beginning with Baahubali, he delivered what remains one of the biggest Pan-India films ever, and the journey only grew stronger from there. He followed it up with massive blockbusters like Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, which set new benchmarks at the box office and on OTT platforms alike. And now, with Kalki 2898 AD, his Pan-India appeal has reached new heights. On the other hand, S.S. Rajamouli is widely regarded as the most influential director of our time. He has played a pivotal role in reshaping Indian cinema. Three of his films — Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), and RRR (2022), rank among the top 15 highest-grossing films in India. Each of these was, at the time, the most expensive Indian film ever made. Notably, he also brought home an Oscar for India with RRR, marking a historic milestone. And then there's Hombale Films, the only production house consistently delivering a powerhouse slate of Pan-India films. Not only have they mastered storytelling, but they' have also perfected the art of showcasing cinematic grandeur on screen. With films like K.G.F: Chapter 1 & 2, Kantara, and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, they have dominated the box office and cemented their place as industry giants. Their vision is truly unparalleled, and with the recent onboarding of superstar Hrithik Roshan, they have made a bold and unexpected move, one that promises a cinematic marvel like never before. Notably, many others have showcased their talent in pan-India films. However, not all of them have delivered multiple successful projects. Among the most promising names are Allu Arjun, Sukumar, and others. While they have made a strong impression, they are still relatively new to this domain, and only time will tell if they continue to deliver consistent hits. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Indian Producers' Associations Warn of Box Office Bloodbath After Donald Trump's 100% Tariff Bombshell

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Indian producers associations are sounding the alarm over President Donald Trump's recent proposal to implement a 100% tariff on foreign-produced films entering the U.S. market, a move that threatens the $100 million theatrical business that Indian cinema currently enjoys in America. Shibashish Sarkar, president of the Producers Guild of India, cautions that it's still early to fully assess the situation. 'It is a little early to comment as global film industries and stakeholders are still processing what is the objective of the statement by President Trump, and what exactly it will solve for Hollywood. Also as we see from his other announcements on tariffs, things change till it's implemented,' Sarkar tells Variety. More from Variety If implemented, Sarkar believes the immediate impact would be on theatrical distribution. 'Indian films do about $100 million dollar +/- at the gross box office level in the U.S. If this tariff gets implemented, either the exhibitors will increase the ticket prices and make it expensive for the consumers, because of which even the footfalls will come down dramatically,' he explains. Indian films have been making significant strides at the North American box office. Among the top performers, 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' leads with a gross of $22 million, followed by 'Kalki 2898 AD' at $18.5 million, 'Pathaan' at $17.4 million, 'RRR' at $15.3 million, 'Jawan' at $15.2 million, 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' at $15.08 million, and 'Animal' at $15.01 million. The alternative scenario could be equally problematic for Indian producers. 'If the exhibitors want to absorb the price, then they will pass on that loss to the producers, so the producers share will also come down dramatically. Either way, there will be an impact on the Indian producer's share from a theatrical point of view,' Sarkar says. The ripple effects would extend beyond theatrical releases to digital platforms as well. 'Also, digital or pay TV deals that Indian producers do for global rights will be impacted. That may be post theatrical rights or direct to digital films,' Sarkar notes, adding that any revenue generated by Indian content in the U.S. would likely be subject to the tariff. Sarkar also points out potential consequences for Hollywood productions shooting in India, suggesting they would face tariffs when bringing content back to the U.S. for release. Abhay Sinha, president of the Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association (IMPPA), which represents 25,000 Indian producers and distributors, also warns of mutual damage. 'The sanctions imposed on foreign films by the President Trump administration are going to have far reaching consequences on Indian films releasing in the U.S.,' Sinha tells Variety, noting that U.S. exhibition chains also rely on Indian content for survival. Hollywood films have a significant presence in the Indian market, accounting for approximately 10% of the annual $2 billion box office. Top-performing Hollywood films in India include 'Avatar: The Way of Water' with $59.5 million, 'Avengers: Endgame' at $62.6 million, and 'Avengers: Infinity War' with $43.5 million. The producers' bodies are planning coordinated action in response. 'All our producers and distributors bodies will have to meet in order to resolve the issue using government deliberations first. IMPPA and FFI (Film Federation of India) will approach the government to announce our joint stand on the issue,' Sinha says. Best of Variety Sign up for Variety's Newsletter.
