Guess Which Bollywood Superstar Has Done Most Number Of Title Roles!

Getting a film being named after the character you’re playing in the movie marks a cult existence. While stars like Salman Khan who’ve subtly grown bigger than the film are now repeatedly getting films being titled under their name, Bollywood has forever followed this trend of crediting a star with “In & As”. As we looked through the filmography of all existing superstars, we found out some interesting results.

So here’s who have done the most number of title roles in their career:

PS: We’ve also considered titles such as Bodyguard and Fan even if the characters in the film had different names. Those titles attribute the character the star has played!

Rank 6 – Hrithik Roshan (3 Films)

While Hrithik has spent around 17 years in the industry, the actor still hasn’t a done a lot of movies that were titled on his character. This could perhaps be because of the importance he gives to the script of his movies.

Films That Had Hrithik Play The Title Role

Krrish

Jodha Akbar

Krrish 3

Rank 6 – Aamir Khan (3 Films)

It’s a tie at the bottom of the list and the honor sharing is another perfectionist who perhaps values scripting more than anybody else. Aamir Khan despite being the superstar that he is only has 3 films to his credit that were based on his character.
