The list is headed by Baahubali 2, which remains untouchable even after four years since its release. SS Rajamouli is coming up with his next, RRR, in less than 8 days now fingers crossed. That film will try to bridge the gap between Baahubali 2 and the number two which is currently just over Rs. 500 crores. The oldest name in the list remains Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Endhiran, which was released 11 years ago and was only the second Indian film at the time to go over Rs. 200 crores.
