Four Telugu film stars feature in a reported 2026 ranking of India’s 10 wealthiest actors. Nagarjuna Akkineni takes second place, while Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh Daggubati and Ram Charan occupy the final three spots.

Shah Rukh Khan leads the list with an estimated net worth of ₹10,000 crore. Nagarjuna follows at ₹5,000 crore, making him the highest-ranked Telugu actor in the ranking reported by Deccan Chronicle. The figures are estimates, however, and the report does not specify a valuation method or provide independently verified financial disclosures for each actor.

Chiranjeevi is placed eighth with an estimated net worth of ₹1,700 crore. Venkatesh follows in ninth place at ₹1,650 crore, while Ram Charan rounds out the top 10 at ₹1,400 crore. Together with Nagarjuna, they account for four of the ten names on the reported list.

The ranking brings actors from Telugu cinema into a comparison often dominated by Hindi film stars. It also reflects how a star’s estimated wealth can extend beyond acting fees. Business interests, investments, endorsements and other assets may contribute to such figures, although the report does not provide a breakdown for the individual actors.

Nagarjuna’s reported figure is more than double that of the next Telugu actor on the list, Chiranjeevi. Venkatesh and Ram Charan follow closely in the eighth-to-tenth-place group. While the precise values should be treated as unverified estimates, the ranking has put the financial profile of Tollywood’s leading actors in the spotlight alongside some of Bollywood’s biggest names.
