Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra |
Recently, Variety magazine pronounced that Salman Khan,
Priyanka Chopra, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra and Ekta Kapoor are in their list
of 500 most influential business leaders.
12 Indians have been chosen under the list which also
includes Anil Ambani, Uday Shankar, Punit Goenka, Siddharth Kapur, Subhash
Chandra, Mukesh Ambani and Kishore Lulla.
An excerpt from Salman's profile reads as "Salman Khan
is one of the unrelated Khan triumvirate comprising Aamir and Shah Rukh that
has been ruling the Bollywood box office for decades. Of the top ten grossing
films of all time, Salman has three, as does Shah Rukh, while Aamir has four.
Unlike his contemporary Khans whose fan bases are staid by comparison, every
Salman release generates mass hysteria across India, a frenzy surpassed only by
the fans of South Indian superstar Rajinikanth."
An excerpt from Priyanka's profile reads as, "Although
she had envisioned an engineering career, Chopra changed direction after
winning the 2000 Miss World Pageant, when she received offers to act in Indian
films. Variety’s Derek Elley praised her solid screen debut in Bollywood with
2003’s The Hero: Love Story of a Spy. But her career took off after she played
the love interest in Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish in 2006."
On the film front, Salman and Priyanka will reunite on
screen for Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat, which is scheduled for an Eid 2019
release.
