Who will be Kollywood’s next no.1 hero?

The Tamil film industry is abuzz with one major question — who is Kollywood’s No.1 hero? With Vijay announcing his entry into politics and stepping away from films, the industry seems to be without a clear leader. Ajith, once a strong competitor to Vijay, is also less active in cinema, focusing more on his passion for racing.

While Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan continue to make movies, they are no longer in the race for the No.1 spot. Their legendary status remains intact, but their time as industry frontrunners has passed. For years, Vijay and Ajith were seen as rivals, with Vijay holding a slight edge. However, his political aspirations have left a noticeable gap in Kollywood.

Suriya and Vikram, both established stars, are actively working on new projects. Yet, their recent box office performances have been inconsistent. Suriya earned praise for his digital releases during the pandemic but struggled to achieve the same success in theaters. His latest film, *Kanguva*, failed to meet expectations, leaving fans disappointed. Similarly, Vikram’s experimental roles have not always translated into commercial success, making his path to the No.1 position uncertain.

Shivakarthikeyan, on the other hand, has been enjoying a good run at the box office. His popularity is steadily increasing, and he is considered a strong contender. However, industry experts believe he still has a long way to go before claiming the top spot. Consistent blockbusters and wider market appeal will be crucial for him to rise to the level of a Kollywood No.1 hero.

For now, the No.1 chair in Kollywood remains vacant. Whether Suriya, Vikram, or Shivakarthikeyan can seize the position will depend on their upcoming projects and box office performances. Until then, fans eagerly wait to see who will claim the throne.
