Salman Khan Remains the Top Earner in Bollywood
Salman Khan was crowned Bollywood’s highest earner when he took home Rs 530.50 crore back in 2015. This is the highest takeaway any Bollywood star had in a year.

Salman also holds the record for the highest earning in a year’s time frame. Bajrangi Bhaijaan earned Rs 320.34 crores and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo earned Rs 210.16 crore in 2015, amounting to Rs 530.50 crores in just that year.
It should be mentioned that the one-year time frame extends from July, 2015 when Bajrangi Bhaijaan was released till July, 2016 when Sultan was released.
Between these three movies, Sallu Bhai took home a mammoth Rs 830.95 crore rupees in 12 months. This is the record that Ranveer Singh needs to break to be considered as Bollywood’s highest ever earner.
Ranveer Singh’s Earning Records
Ranveer Singh already broke the year-end record with Padmaavat and Simmba, and his one-year time frame was up by January, 2018.
Even if he manages to bag Rs 288.58 crores with Gully Boy, it will a record made in 13 months not 12 months. Therefore, Salman Khan still remains the box-office juggernaut.
This will still help Ranveer Singh’s winning streak though. He still is in the five crore club with Salman Khan and they’re the only two members.
