Forbes India has once again come up with "Celebrity 100" list, which includes names of film stars, sportspersons and television personalities among others.
Several south Indian film celebrities have also made it to the "celebrity 100" list this year. Many Telugu, Tamil and Kannada actors have found a place in the Forbes list, prepared by calculating the earnings of the celebrities through entertainment and endorsements for the period 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013, according to Forbes India.
The top 10 positions are mostly dominated by Bollywood stars including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan.
A few south celebrities who were listed in the top 100 last year have made an exit in 2013. Actors including Ajith, Vikram and Jr NTR (Telugu star) have been moved out of the list, while Kamal, Ram Charan, Sudeep, Darshan and Prabhu Deva have debuted this year.
