Aamir Khan tops Filmfare Power List!


The Ace of Bollywood – Aamir Khan has never screamed from the roof tops that he is the star who actually rules Bollywood. Yet we knew that over the years he has gone one step ahead of his contemporaries and his films have turned out to be most anticipated ones.

Now what has been slowly and silently evolving for a long time has been officially recognised. Aamir has gained the top slot in the new power list of Bollywood that has been brought out by Filmfare.

Aamir has certainly towered over his contemporaries in terms of popular status and box office success.His  ‘Ghajini’ rewrote box office history and became the country's first Rs 1 billion project and was the decisive weapon that Aamir used to prove himself to be a mass hero. It  spring vaulted Aamir, way ahead of all his contemporaries to make him the undisputed numero uno.

Aamir has scored both as a producer and a director. His home production Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na did phenomenally well at the Box Office. And his directorial debut as well as home production, Taare Zameen Par,  continued to dazzle people. It was also selected as India's official entry to the Oscars.

Aamir has not only emerged No. 1 in the overall Power List. He has been ranked No. 1 in the Top Actors (male) list. and No. 1 in the Top Directors list as well. It was Aamir's extraordinary charisma, combined with his unique directorial skills that have made him the numero uno director in the film industry's eyes today.

His production house, Aamir Khan Productions has been ranked at No. 2, making him the second most powerful producer after Yash and Aditya Chopra!

Truly, Aamir Khan reigns supreme!

Arch rival Shah Rukh Khan, despite the not-so-impressive box office fate of ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and ‘Billu Barber’ occupies the number two spot in the Filmfare power list.

Film makers Yash and Aditya Chopra follow third. Producer Ronnie Screwwala, Karan Johar, Akshay Kumar, Farhan Akhtar, A.R.Rahman and Hrithik Roshan are also the other occupants of the powerlist. The surprise element here is the lady sitting comfortably in the 10th slot.

None other than Kareena Kapoor, the only heroine who has found her way into the list. With or without awards and blockbusters the endorsement queen of B-Town still managed to find herself a spot on the Power List.
