Shah Rukh Khan ranks 86th on the list with earnings of $33 million. Forbes stated that Shah Rukh Khan "continues to rule Bollywood's box office with the lead role in hit Dilwale and many others, earning multimillion-dollar upfront fees and a cut of the back-end for his efforts." Forbes also added that "He also cashes in on endorsement deals of dozens of brands most Americans have likely never heard of."

Akshay Kumar ranks 94th on the list with earnings of $31.5 million. Forbes stated that Akshay is "One of Bollywood's busiest leading men, Kumar banked top rupee for three hit films in our scoring period.
