Four Bollywood stars made it to the Forbes’ list of world’s top 20 highest-paid actors and their names are Shah Rukh Khan (number 8 with $33 million in earnings), Akshay Kumar (number 10 with $31.5 million), Salman Khan (number 14 with $28.5 million) and Amitabh Bachchan (number 18 with $20 million). The list was topped by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson who earned an estimated $64.5m. He earned almost $20 million more than world’s highest-paid actress Jennifer Lawrence.
Shah Rukh Khan, who was missing from the top earners’ list last year, is back with a vengeance. Forbes wrote about SRK, “Khan continues to rule Bollywood’s box-office with the lead role in hit ‘Dilwale’ and many others, earning multimillion-dollar upfront fees and a cut of the back-end for his efforts. He also cashes in on endorsement deals for dozens of brands most Americans have likely never heard of.”
According to the list, SRK earned as much as Robert Downey Jr but more than Leonardo DiCaprio ($27 million) who earned his Oscar this year, Chris Pratt who delivered ‘Jurassic World’ and Will Smith. Dwayne Johnson elbowed Robert Downey Jr aside to become the highest-paid actor with a fast and furious income of $64.5 million, according to Forbes magazine. The former wrestler beat out Jackie Chan with $61 million and Matt Damon, who earned $55 million. The rest of the top five on the list, released Thursday, included Tom Cruise with $53 million and Johnny Depp with $48 million.
