Meet actor whose debut film was a flop, now has 18 films in the Rs 100 crore club – Not Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan; he is…
This star kid began his career as a background dancer at the age of 14. His first film, Biwi Ho To Aisi, released in 1988 and was a flop. But it was Maine Pyaar Kiya in 1989 that catapulted him to stardom. Made on a budget of Rs 4 crore, the film grossed Rs 27.5 crore worldwide, and his fee jumped from Rs 31,000 to Rs 75,000. You’ve probably guessed by now, the actor in question is Salman Khan! If the Bollywood box office were a royal court, he would be the undisputed Sultan.
Why is Salman Khan known as the Rs 100 crore king?
Before we dive into Salman’s glittering lineup, here’s a quirky fact: the term “Rs 100 crore club” didn’t even exist until 2008, when Aamir Khan’s Ghajini stormed the box office and cracked the Rs 100 crore code. Today, there are around 100 films in that club. One actor dominates this list with 18 movies that have earned over Rs 100 crore net at the domestic box office. And no, it’s not Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, or Akshay Kumar. It’s Salman Khan!
Salman Khan didn’t just enter the Rs 100 crore club, he made a grand entry with Dabangg, and he hasn’t stopped since.
