Deepika Padukone Eyes Historic ₹1000 Crore Milestone!

Like a comet blazing across the cinematic sky, Deepika Padukone is on the verge of making history, positioning herself as the only Indian actress to gross over **₹1000 crore** in a single year. With the much-awaited **Singham Again** on the horizon, the Bollywood queen is poised to solidify her reign over the box office in 2024.

This incredible year for Deepika began with her starring roles in two high-profile films, **Fighter** and **Kalki 2898 AD**. While **Fighter**, directed by Siddharth Anand and co-starring Hrithik Roshan, showcased their electric chemistry, it didn’t quite soar at the box office as expected, grossing **₹205 crore** in India. Despite its underperformance, Deepika's star power remained undiminished, largely thanks to her next project.

Her sci-fi epic, **Kalki 2898 AD**, however, became a box office juggernaut, grossing **₹650 crore** and securing its place as the fourth highest-grossing Indian film. Deepika's portrayal of **Sumathi** earned positive reviews, further boosting her box office tally for the year to a stunning **₹855 crore** so far. With just **₹145 crore** needed to reach the milestone, the release of **Singham Again** may very well push her into uncharted territory.

If all goes well, Deepika will join the exclusive club of actors who have grossed **₹1000 crore** in a year, following **Shah Rukh Khan**, who achieved the feat in 2023 with **Pathaan, Jawan**, and **Dunki**, crossing **₹1400 crore**. For Deepika, this would be yet another crown jewel in her already illustrious career!
