Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra are the only two actresses who feature in Forbes magazines list of top 10 Bollywood's highest paid 2017 list, which is led by "Raees" star Shah Rukh Khan.
Deepika ranks sixth in the list with earnings of $11
million, while Priyanka shares the seventh spot with Deepika's beau Ranveer
Singh, with earnings of $10 billion. Both actresses have made their Hollywood
debuts.
As for Shah Rukh, he has left his colleagues Salman Khan,
Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan behind, despite getting an unexcited response with
his last few movies like "Fan", "Dilwale" and "Jab
Harry Met Sejal". His endorsement deals and profitable productions helmed
by his banner Red Chillies Entertainment, helped him make $38 million between
June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017, before fees and taxes, reports a portal.
Not far behind him is Salman, who is ranked second with
earnings of $37 million in the last one year.
Salman gained profits from the success of "Sultan"
and "retains a slew of advertisements and a not-for-profit line of
clothing and jewellery that benefits his Being Human Foundation".
The Khans are followed by National Award winner Akshay,
whose golden run at the Indian box office doesn't seem to stop anytime soon.
The "Khiladi" star is listed at the third position
at earnings of $35.5 million, with his hit movies like "Rustom",
"Jolly LLB 2", "Naam Shabana" and "Toilet: Ek Prem
Katha".
Shah Rukh, Salman and Akshay are also included in Forbes
magazine's World's Highest Paid Actors 2017 list and ranked at eighth, ninth
and 10th position respectively.
With the extraordinary success of "Dangal", Aamir
is ranked fourth in the list with collections of $12.5 million.
Actor Hrithik Roshan has rounded off the top five with
earnings of $11.5 million. Hrithik's 2016 movie "Mohenjo Daro" bombed
at the box office, but, the actor bounced back with "Kaabil" in 2017.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan ($9 million) and actor Ranbir
Kapoor ($8.5 million) have been ranked ninth and 10th in the list, reports a
portal.
