7 Leading Men Of Bollywood And The Whopping Amount Of Money Riding On Them

Behind the glitz, the glamour and the madness of Bollywood, how often do we stop to think the earth-shattering amount of money that goes into this business of creating, buying, selling and more importantly inspiring a thousand dream? Well, the answer is a lot.

Being the biggest film industry in the world in terms of volume surely does not come cheap. We can all look at the artistic or the entertainment aspect of it, but the truth is it is a business that involves an unfathomable amount of money. Although the burden is equally shared by everybody involved with the business, the major chunk recovering this money falls on the leading men of Bollywood. Yes, it is perhaps sexist, but it is also true.

Playing the biggest gambles of their lives every Friday, these are the leading men of Bollywood and the amount of money that is riding on them based on their upcoming films.

Topping the list is none other than Bhaijaan with a whopping 405crores riding on him with 3 upcoming films. Race 3 with a budget of 120 crores, Dabbang 3 with a budget of 85 crores and Bharat with a budget of 200 crores means the Khan has to earn more than 405 crores at the box-office if he does not want the producers to bear huge losses. But looking at the box-office history of Salman we are more than sure that it is a safe gamble.

Next on the list our the Kapoor scion Ranbir Kapoor who needs to earn a whopping 400 crores at the box office with 4 upcoming films just to break even. Sanju at 110, Shamshera at 120, Brahmastra at 100 and Luv Ranjan's untitled next at 80 crores are the upcoming ventures of Ranbir.

With his streak of successful films, Varun Dhawan is probably one of the safest bets in Bollywood right now. The star has four upcoming projects which include Sui Dhaaga, Rannbhoomi, Kalank, and ABCD3. Though we only know the budget of Sui Dhaaga which is 100 crores, looking at the mega scale of the projects it is safe to assume that the budget of the other three would be at least 100 crores each or more, which means Varun will have to rake in more than 400 crores to not fail his producers.

His upcoming film, Thugs of Hindosthan is one of the biggest projects of Bollywood at the moment. the budget of the film is 210 crores which pack a solid punch of star power that includes Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, and Fatima Sana Sheikh. given the star power of the movie and Aamir's record at the box office, we are sure that the producers of the film will surely be happy and rich at the end of it all.

With two projects in his kitty, Gully Boy and Simmba, Ranveer Singh is responsible for earning about 205 crores given the budget of the films are 55 crores and 150 crores respectively. But again, knowing him and his box-office record, this is a relatively small bet to be placed on him which he will surely deliver upon.

With just one film in his list of upcoming ventures, Zero, 150 crore is the amount which is riding on Shahrukh Khan, which we are sure he will be able to recover.

the Khiladi of Bollywood is also busy with two upcoming films, namely Gold and Kesari. The budget of the films are 90 crores and 50 crores respectively, which means 140 crores is riding on him.
