Movie Star

• Asia
Movie stars in other regions too have their own star value. For instance, in Asian film industries, many movies often run on the weight of the star's crowd pulling power more than any other intrinsic aspect of film making.
• India
The Indian film industry has its own set of rules in this aspect and there are often superstars in this region, who often command premium pay commensurate with their box office appeal. Shahrukh Khan, for example, has a fan following numbering in the billions and a net worth estimated at over Rs 2500 crore (US$ 540 million). He is regarded as one of the most powerful movie stars in the world. Other Indian actors who are among the most popular movie stars in Southern Asia include Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, Aishwarya Rai and Mohanlal to name a few.
