#2 Prabhas
While this might seem a bit surprising, the actor has been a beloved star around the country since the release of S.S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali. While his latest, Radhe Shyam failed to impress fans, he is still grabbing headlines due to his upcoming projects.

#3 Yash
There are no surprises here, as the Kannada star’s rise as a pan-Indian sensation has been loud and glamourous. While the first KGF movie did well, the sequel titled KGF: Chapter 2 has demolished the Indian box office following its release, also defining his current stardom in India.

#4 Ajith Kumar
Ajith Kumar or Thala Ajith is one of the biggest Tamil stars working in the industry today.

#5 Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar is the only Bollywood star to feature in the top 10 list, and this is not surprising considering how Hindi cinema has found itself in a slump lately. Though he had back-to-back duds with Bachchan Paanday and Samrat Prithviraj, he is still an influential star in the industry.

#6 Allu Arjun
Allu Arjun is one of the South Indian stars who shined in Hindi speaking belts with a pan-Indian project. Pushpa: The Rise did great business around the country and now fans across India are awaiting the release of its sequel, Pushpa: The Rule.

#8 Mahesh Babu
One of the biggest crowd pullers in the Telugu industry today, Mahesh Babu’s superstardom is well documented. Despite only mixed reviews, his latest titled Sarkaru Vaari Paata still had a good run at the box office. The actor is also in talks for a movie with S.S. Rajamouli.

#9 Ram Charan
Ram Charan was Jr. NTR’s co-star in RRR and he made a big impression with movie fans around the country with the period action drama. He also appeared in Acharya starring his father, Chiranjeevi this year. While RRR continues to break records one after the other, Acharya was one to forget.

#10 Suriya
Suriya is another star in the Tamil industry who has had a solid year. While he appeared in some fine movies recently, his short cameo in Kamal Haasan’s Vikram was the talk of the town since the movie was released. With #Rolex trending on Twitter for a long time, his inclusion in the list is very much justified.
