Surprisingly, superstars like Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar only have one highest grosser of the year each with Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Sooryavanshi while other superstars like Dev Anand and Rajesh Khanna narrowly miss out with two each. Tiger Shroff and Ranbir Kapoor are the only modern-day actors with a highest grosser each to their name by way of War and Sanju. Will there be able to add their names to the list with more such movies and which of their contemporaries might join them down the road?
