Discover the only Indian star who has achieved the incredible feat of delivering 8 consecutive Rs 200 crore hits. It’s not Shah Rukh, Rajinikanth, or Salman.
Once upon a time, a film crossing the Rs 100 crore mark was the ultimate indicator of success, with actors boasting multiple hits in this category being hailed as superstars. Back then, achieving this milestone was a rare feat. As inflation kicked in, the bar was raised to Rs 200-300 crore, but consistently delivering such blockbuster hits remained elusive for most. Enter a game-changer from the Tamil film industry—no, it’s not Rajinikanth or Kamal Haasan—who has redefined success by delivering eight consecutive films that each crossed the Rs 200 crore threshold.
This actor ruled over box office with 8 consecutive Rs 200 crore hits
Actor Vijay famously known as Thalapathy Vijay stands as the undisputed ruler of Tamil cinema. Over the past decade, he has surpassed legends like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, creating a substantial gap between himself and contemporary stars such as Ajith Kumar, Suriya, and Dhanush. While many of his peers are satisfied with films hitting the Rs 100-crore mark, Vijay has consistently delivered Rs 200-crore blockbusters for nearly ten years.
Even his so-called ‘disappointing’ releases, like the 2022 film Beast, have outperformed many of his rivals’ top hits, with Beast raking in Rs 220 crore globally, surpassing the earnings of any film by Dhanush or Suriya.
How Vijay surpassed big names like SRK, Salman and Aamir
Vijay’s remarkable success at the box office is anchored in his extraordinary consistency, a rare quality in the industry. While other major stars have faced their share of setbacks, with some enduring multiple flops, Vijay has maintained an impressive track record. For instance, Shah Rukh Khan had a dry spell of four years without a major hit before his recent successes. Similarly, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Kumar are currently navigating a challenging phase, struggling to deliver hits. Even Prabhas experienced a series of disappointments before his recent successes with Salaar and Kalki.
In stark contrast, Vijay has managed to steer clear of failures since 2016, a testament to his unparalleled appeal and reliability at the Indian box office. His sustained success makes him a standout figure, demonstrating why he is currently considered the safest bet for blockbuster performances in the Indian film industry.
