The economics differ from Hollywood's. A top Bollywood star combines film fees with an endorsement portfolio that can run to dozens of brands at once — in a market of 1.4 billion people, a trusted face is one of the most valuable advertising assets in the country. Add production houses that own the films themselves, and the fee for acting becomes only one of several income streams from the same movie.
Longevity is the other multiplier. The names at the top of this list have been bankable since the 1990s or earlier, compounding fees, endorsements and property across eras of Indian cinema — from single-screen theatres to global streaming releases that put the same stars in front of the diaspora worldwide.
