Prabhas and Shah Rukh Khan closely follow Vijay in popularity. Prabhas' Salaar: Part 1 Ceasefire dominated the box office in December, grossing nearly Rs 700 crore worldwide. Meanwhile, SRK delivered three blockbuster hits—Pathan, Jawan, and Dunki—which revitalised Bollywood, helping it recover from the post-pandemic slump and expand Indian cinema's reach to global audiences.

In the female category, Samantha's position at the top comes as no surprise, given her recent acclaim. She captured audiences with her performance in the trailer for Citadel: Honey Bunny. Following Samantha, Alia Bhatt secured the second spot despite mixed reviews for her latest project, Jigra. New mother Deepika Padukone ranks third, buoyed by her roles in blockbuster films such as Kalki 2898 AD, Pathaan, and Jawan.
