Neither Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan, who appeared with Akshay in past lists, have made it the the 2019 edition. SRK featured at the 65th rank in 2017 but was dropped in 2018. Salman Khan was on the 82nd spot in 2018 with earnings of $37.7 million (Rs 257 crore).

Akshay Kumar will be seen next in Mission Mangal, which is inspired by India’s 2013 Mars space programme Mangalyaan. He mentioned that he has dedicated the film to his daughter, writing in a social media post?: “Mission Mangal is a film which I hope will inspire as well as entertain. A film which I’ve done specially for my daughter and children her age to familiarise them with the incredible true story of India’s mission to Mars!”

He also stars opposite Katrina Kaif in Rohit Shetty’s upcoming action film Sooryavanshi, which releases on 27 March 2020.
