Mohanlal started as a villain, moved to comedy, then drama and action. And yeah, he excelled at all. Considering the number of Mohanlal comedies (and action and drama) remade into many languages, including Hindi, the industry agrees.
Amitabh Bachchan is a good actor, but nowhere close to Mohanlal.
The only way to move Amitabh to the top will be to limit the field to commercial Bollywood.
