Trailblazing Indian Actress Achieves Rs 1000 Crore Milestone with Two Solo Blockbusters; Notable Feat Surpasses Deepika, Priyanka, Nayanthara, and Alia
The 1000-crore club boasts stunning female leads like Deepika, Nayanthara, and Srinidhi Shetty, but the groundbreaker who first led a film across this landmark threshold remains a surprising guess. Can you unlock her name? When Baahubali 2 thundered into the 1000-crore club, etching its name as the first and Anushka Shetty’s as the queen who helped forge it, Bollywood knew a new era had begun.
Not just on screen, but off it too, Anushka Shetty stood tall as Baahubali 2 redefined box office history. The film, alongside Prabhas and Rana Daggubati, stormed into the coveted 1000-crore club, solidifying its place as the pioneer and Shetty’s as a force to be reckoned with. Crowned with glory, draped in fire, Anushka Shetty wasn’t just Baahubali 2’s fiery queen; she was one of the architects who forged the path to the 1000-crore club, rewriting box office fairytales one epic saga at a time.
Reigning supreme for over a decade, Anushka Shetty carved her name in Telugu cinema’s hall of fame. From her debut in “Super” to leading box office titans like “Arundhati” and “Rudhramadevi,” she defied norms, owning the spotlight. Blockbusters like “Vikramarkudu,” “Souryam,” and “Singam” cemented her as a bankable star, while the epic “Baahubali” saga etched her legacy in golden letters. This queen of versatility conquered not only Telugu hearts but Tamil screens as well, proving there’s no mountain she can’t climb.
Beyond Anushka Shetty’s pioneering Baahubali 2, five more films have soared past Rs 1000 crore, featuring leading ladies like Srinidhi Shetty (KGF Chapter 2) and Nayanthara (Jawan). While Deepika Padukone and Sanya Malhotra’s roles in Dangal and Jawan were pivotal, supporting appearances mean their “club membership” remains at one film each.
