The same can be said for Tollywood’s senior heroes, who continue to redefine box office success despite being in their 60s. While skeptics wonder if they still have the fire to compete with the younger generation, these veterans are shattering industry records and proving that age is just a number. Each of them carries a monumental achievement in their pocket, rewriting history one blockbuster at a time.
Leading the charge is Venkatesh, who made a grand Sankranthi comeback, amassing a staggering ₹300 crore with his latest film. This milestone cements him as the senior star with the highest-ever collections in Tollywood. Decades after his Kalisundam Raa industry hit, Venky continues to reign supreme, proving that his star power remains unshaken.
Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi holds an enviable streak, being the senior hero with the most ₹200 crore grossers and ₹100 crore shares. His re-entry into films has been nothing short of spectacular, with Khaidi No. 150 securing ₹100 crore share and Sye Raa and Waltair Veerayya crossing ₹200 crore gross. The Megastar's dominance remains intact, showing that his legacy is far from over.
On the other hand, Balakrishna has created a stronghold in the ₹100 crore club. Starting with Akhanda, he followed it up with Veera Simha Reddy, Bhagavanth Kesari, and now Daaku Maharaj, consistently delivering box office gold. His versatility and mass appeal keep him a major force in the industry.
Among Tollywood’s four senior pillars, Nagarjuna is yet to make his grand comeback. While the others continue to break records, the King awaits the perfect script to stage his return. But if the right film comes along, there is no doubt that he, too, will create a sensation. When that moment arrives, all four legends will stand tall once again proving that their reign is far from over.
