Salman Khan is at the top of the Box Office India star rankings at the end of last year and this is before the release of Tiger Zinda Hai. Salman Khan has a healthy lead which is almost double the next actor with is Aamir Khan..
The January rankings will see the points of Tiger Zinda Hai added and the lead will be huge maybe due to huge opening of that film. The next three Aamir Khan, Shahukh Khan and Akshay Kumar are all pretty close and one film can change the scenario between these lot. Varun Dhawan got a big boost with Judwaa 2 in 2017.
Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor are the only ones with minus points as they have very few releases and then if you get openings like Kaabil and Jaaga Jasoos which are a big of a disaster if you are a big star then you will not be going anywhere. The star rankings for India in December 2017 are as follows. There are only nine names as these are the only people who can be called stars today.
1. Salman Khan: 1829 points
