Can Salman Khan Dethrone Box-Office King Hrithik Roshan With "Dabangg 3"?

2019 has absolutely been a turning point for actor Hrithik Roshan. He, who had grinned and bore pass a difficult phase of his acting career, brought about successive box-office megahits by way of War and Super 30.

While the lifetime run of Super 30 finished with a total of Rs 146.94 crore, the action film War has collected a sum of Rs 305.95 crore by now. The compounded gathering of the two movies is now standing at a whopping Rs 452.89 crore and it surely makes the Greek God the top actor of the year.

Tiger Shroff, Hrithik’s co-actor in the War film, stands the second rank.  Apart from the action thriller helmed by Siddharth Anand, Tiger also played the lead in the earlier released film Student of the Year 2. The flick kept on to earn Rs 69.11 crore regarding the ticket box and combine this with  Rs 305.95 crore of War, we get an astonishing number of Rs 375.06 crore.

On another hand, actor Akshay Kumar casually owns the 3^rd spot with Rs 357.39 crore in total owing to the majestic outcome of Mission Mangal and Kesari. The two films have earned Rs 202.98 crore and Rs 154.41 crore respectively.

Standing at the fourth rank is Kabir Singh star Shahid Kapoor, who took round a box-office bandwagon in 2019 with the Sandeep Reddy Vanga-directed film. It collected Rs 278.24 crore all around.

Ajay Devgn, the actor who had two successes within this year is the number 5 of the list. With Total Dhamaal that earned Rs 154.23 crore and De De Pyaar De that garnered Rs 257.87 crore, the actor managed to see his two hits gain Rs 257.87 crore on the whole.

In spite of the admirable box-office result of Bharat (which accounts for Rs 211.07 crore), actor Salman Khan hasn’t managed to make it into Top 5. However, with the approaching release of his next Dabangg 3 on the 20^th of December this year, the star may evolve from missing to getting the top place of the list.

Supposed that War gains Rs 10 crore more before the cinema work rests, the tally of Hrithik will rise to approximately Rs 460 crore. To take over Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan will have to make sure Dabangg 3 makes at least Rs 250 crore. Will he be able to do it?

With his massive stardom as well as the renown of Dabangg series, it is possible that the figure will be achieved. For the record, the 2012 installment Dabangg 2 had collected Rs 155 crore before.
