Salman Khan, another Bollywood giant, ranks third with Rs.75 crore, while Amitabh Bachchan paid Rs.71 crore, placing him fourth.
In a surprising revelation, cricketer Virat Kohli comes in fifth with Rs.66 crore, though Bollywood continues to dominate the top positions. Other notable figures include Ajay Devgn, Dhoni, Ranbir Kapoor, and Hrithik Roshan. Cricket icons Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Hardik Pandya also made it to the top 20.

Telugu cinema, though not yet in the top ranks, is expected to see more names in the future. Allu Arjun has already made the list with Rs.14 crore in taxes. Surprisingly, Prabhas, despite his Rs.150 crore earnings per film, hasn’t appeared on the list yet. Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR are also strong contenders to join the highest earners, as their earnings per film exceed Rs.100 crore.
As the earnings of Telugu stars continue to grow, many expect them to make a significant impact in the coming years.
