Top 5 heroes in Kollywood

At number 1 is Kamal Hassan. Dasavatharam the year`s biggest grosser has made him the `Numero Uno` at the box-office. The film is a super hit worldwide, and the third highest grossing Indian film in the overseas market, where Bollywood rules. He is now literally the Ulaga Nayagan, who has a growing fan base among the youth









At number 2 is Rajinikanth. For the first time in five years the superstar has slipped, following the Kuselan fiasco at the box-office. His image took a beating when he had to apologize over a Kannada channel over his uttering on the Hogenakkal issue. But has bounced back after Sun Pictures took over Endhiran at a record price.




At number 3 Vijay sits precariously as his Kuruvi has done only average business. But what makes him attractive is that the trade thinks he is still a safe bet with his mass masala potboilers. Added to that he has an awesome fan network including Sri Lankan Tamils across the globe who swear by him, as Villu turns red hot.


At number 4 is Surya, who has grown phenomenally as an actor and star. His performance in Gautham Menon`s Vaaranam Aayiram a hit has given him superstardom. If last year he reached the B and C with Vel, this year he has become popular with US audiences and has action movie Ayan next year.

At number 5 is Ajit, who did not have a good year. After Billa a lot was expected from Aegan, which turned out to be a dud. But Ajit has star power, an impressive opening, charisma and above all a huge fan base. Let us hope with his next film for Sivaji Productions and director Saran Asal, does the magic.
