Prabhas rounds off the list that illustrates that stardom is now completely pan-Indian.
In 2022, Dhanush had topped the list.
“The list allows us to capture trends across India’s entertainment industries, stemming from pan-Indian titles and the increased discovery of regional movies by a broader Indian audience,” says Yaminie Patodia, head of IMDb India.
Can these lists be doctored by stars and their public relations teams?
“Our proprietary algorithm for STARmeter rankings uses sophisticated data analysis to detect and neutralise any attempts at manipulation,” claims Patodia.
