Bollywood titan King Khan earned $38 million pretax in our scoring period, good enough for the top spot on Forbes inaugural tally of Bollywood's Highest-Paid Actors. SRK bests second-ranked Salman Khan ($37 million), who demands top rupee for flicks such as Sultan. His payday is comprised almost entirely of his cut of profits from the wrestling drama, Forbes estimates, which continues to ticket well worldwide. Together, Bollywood's 10 highest-paid actors banked a cumulative $183 million between June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017, before fees and taxes. Still, change may be on the horizon: Padukone's upfront fee is on the rise for her lead role in the forthcoming Padmavati, FORBES estimates.
