NTR gaaru please remove kamalji, mammooty and mohanlal from your list.

Legends don't require any numbers.

In Acting

1) Mohanlal
2) Kamal
3) ...
4) ...
5) Mammoty
6) ...
7) ...

In Mass appeal

1) Rajani
2) SRK
3) Kamal hassan and the second ruge of Tamil actors

Mohanlal/Mammoty have appeal only among us Malayalis who are a very small population (less than half of Tamilians and Telugus).
Amitabh of 21st century cannot attract mass crowd, on his own, to the movies because of age and choice to do roles that suits his age ( unlike others

).
Chinanjeevi - I am not including because of my own lack of knowledge of his appeal.

Top Paid Actors in India

999) Mohanlal (75 lakhs)
1000) Mammoty (60 lakhs)

Quality comes cheap

Ok..
But there top 10 NOW...
So, it could change anytime, but at top it still very hard..
But it could change, Vijay has been on field for barely 10 years but he already surpassed Kamal in terms of mass appeal..
But this is nothing to do with Quality..
I just rated them according to their popularity in India

I respect Kamal (for his acting and variety of stories), Big B (for his personality and choice of scripts), Rajani (for his charisma), SRK and mammoty (for their profesionalism).

But I love Mohanlal and I dont need any reasons.

True!

Also his current appearance w/ his shorter, brown hair & silver goatee doesn't hav 1/2 the appeal tat his '70s/80s 'centre-parting' long-ish hair had (one reason y I prefer to hav his pics. from the '70s as my avtaar!

)

Well.....its hard to judge his popularity cos even it makes up only a small fraction of the nation's population (Afa I know he's the "Mega-star" only here in AP! :P ).....

True!

Why are you sad, instead you should be proud as he didn't go for bafoonary like others. He ruled Indian movie industry for 2 decades and now earns our respect. Isnt that the best way for human existance.

Sure 70s had its charm, but just look at the mans personality. I always compare two interviews that came in the same week in US. One was Ash in Opra Winfrey show and the other of Amitabhs on Charlie Rose. One a artificial doll and the other a sincere, mature, powerful yet humble person.

The reason for my sadness is in the part tat I made bold in ur sentence above!

And yea ur right tat he didn't go for bafoonary (altho his participating in rap dances, like the one in Bunty & BaBLI is an exception).....I'm sure even Dev Anand, who's tyring to look 'evergreen' in his 70s doesn't command the type of charm+respect tat Big B has despite showing his age!

I always compare two interviews that came in the same week in US. One was Ash in Opra Winfrey show and the other of Amitabhs on Charlie Rose. One a artificial doll and the other a sincere, mature, powerful yet humble person.

My cheers to u for rightly saying this (in case of both the individuals u mentioned!)
