Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan were the most popular stars after Akshay. While SRK bagged the second spot, Salman is the third most popular male star of 2021 (Hindi).

Aamir Khan, surprisingly, came fifth in the list. Hrithik Roshan, who is yet to be seen in a movie after WAR (2019), is the fourth most popular male star in Bollywood in the year 2021.

The young superstars Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor also made it to the list. While Ranveer was the sixth most popular male star, Ranbir gained a spot at the ninth position.
