So, it's that time of the year again. The Forbes India's Top 100 Celebrities list release time. The verdict is out and the celebrities have been ranked on their earnings and popularity in the year 2014. Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sharukh Khan, MS Dhoni and Akshay Kumar top the list in that order. Bollywood usually does pay more than Kollywood so it is no shock to see them up there.

Now, let's come to Kollywood. Vijay takes the 41st ranking, while Rajni, Ajith and Dhanush rank in 45th, 51st and 78th positions respectively. Quite a feat, eh? Vijay fans must be sky high in joy hearing that their Ilayathalapathy overtook Thala in the ranking of Forbes India. AR Rahman stands at number 13 while Mahesh Babu is 30th and AR Murugadoss is at 39. Not a bad show for Kollywood at all.
