Meet actor with more hits in a year than Hrithik Roshan-Aamir Khan's entire careers; beat Salman at box office at age 65
Over the last three decades, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan have been two of the most consistent and bankable superstars of Hindi cinema. They have starred in some of the biggest hits in Bollywood history, from Kaho Na Pyaar Hai and Krrish to 3 Idiots and PK. So it makes for quite an absurd comparison when one learns that their lifetime collection of hit films is less than what one actor managed in a single calendar year, and that too, all in lead roles. This unthinkable feat was achieved by a superstar nearly four decades ago, and he is still going strong today. In the 1980s, Malayalam cinema was going through a period of change. After Prem Nazir had retreated to doing very few films, the trio of Soman, Jayan, and Sukumaran emerged as the 'new superstars'. But Jayan's death in 1980 ended that run. Even as Sukumaran and Soman continued to churn out hits, younger stars vied for the top place. The two top contenders were Mammootty and Mohanlal. The latter staked his claim in 1986, his annus mirabilis. That year, Mohanlal appeared in 34 films as the lead. To put that in perspective, Dilip Kumar did just 52 films in his entire 53-year career. Of the 34 films Mohanlal made in 1986, 25 were successful at the box office. At age 26, he established himself as one of the top stars of Malayalam cinema, a throne he is yet to abdicate. Till that point, he had been one of the many promising stars in Mollywood. But from then on, it was a diarchy where he and Mammootty reigned supreme. Giving 25 hits in a single year is no mean feat. Aamir Khan, one of the top stars in Hindi cinema history, has just 21 in his entire career (out of 44 films). Hrithik Roshan, on the other hand, has just 15 in 27 films. Even legends like Raj Kapoor (17), Manoj Kumar (19), and Rajendra Kumar (23) had fewer hits in their entire careers than Mohanlal's 1986. Even more prolific Bollywood stars pale in comparison. Akshay Kumar had 4 hits each in 2007, 2010, 2011, and 2013. Amitabh Bachchan had 5 hits in 1982, his peak. In fact, in the year when Mohanlal gave his 25 hits, Amitabh, then the country's biggest star, only had one release. Mohanlal has continued to be at the top of Malayalam cinema for four decades, a rather unprecedented feat. From 1986-2016, he was among the industry's top grossers each year. After a series of misses in the late 2010s, Mohanlal returned to form in 2019 with Lucifer, which became the first Malayalam film to gross ₹200 crore. He also found success in Drishyam. But the veteran reserved his best for 2025. The two releases he has had so far this year - L2: Empuraan and Thuradum - have been blockbusters, both earning over ₹200 crore each. Both films have out-earned Salman Khan's Sikandar and Ram Charan's Game Changer. Even at 65, Mohanlal is giving younger superstars a run for their money at the box office.

Starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra, the film was celebrated for its production design, powerful performances, and Bhansali's directorial mastery. It remains one of Bollywood's finest historical dramas and a testament to the cinematic potential of regional narratives. Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's Upcoming Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic Aamir Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani are set to collaborate on a biopic of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema. The announcement has generated excitement, especially with reports of another Phalke biopic involving Jr NTR and SS Rajamouli.

DK Shivakumar urges Kannada groups to stay calm amid Kamal Haasan controversy
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Tuesday appealed for calm from Kannada organisations, urging them not to stage protests in front of theatres over the ongoing controversy involving actor Kamal Haasan. He also expressed confidence that the veteran actor would respect the Karnataka High Court's directive in the matter. Also Read - RCB's Victory Parade today: Expect major traffic jams in Bengaluru's CBD area. Details The appeal comes amid mounting backlash against Haasan's recent remarks, where he allegedly claimed that Kannada was born out of Tamil. The statement sparked widespread criticism across Karnataka, leading to legal intervention and demands for a public apology from the actor. On Tuesday, the makers of Haasan's upcoming film 'Thug Life' informed the Karnataka High Court that the movie would not be released in the state on its scheduled release date of June 5. 'The Court would have weighed all factors before advising Kamal Haasan to apologise,' Shivakumar told reporters. 'I have spoken with scholars and literary experts, and they agree that Kannada and Tamil are sister Dravidian languages. I trust Kamal Haasan will honour the Court's observations,' he added. During the court proceedings, the bench criticised Haasan's remarks and said that a simple apology could have deescalated the situation. The court's tone reflected the seriousness with which the issue has been taken in Karnataka. Also Read - Bengaluru unites at BGS Ground as RCB fever grips city during IPL final with PBKS Responding to accusations from Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, who alleged that the Congress government was being lenient due to its alliance with DMK in Tamil Nadu, Shivakumar hit back. 'The BJP thrives on dividing people, while the Congress unites. Both needle and scissors are made of iron, but one stitches while the other cuts. Congress is the needle,' he said. Shivakumar also warned against taking matters into one's own hands, stressing that the government would not tolerate any attempts to create unrest. 'We must avoid triggering tensions between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Thousands commute between the two states daily. I appeal to Kannada organisations not to protest outside theatres and disturb public order,' he said.
