Meet The 1st Actress In Indian Cinema Who Delivered Rs 1000 Crore Film

There was a time when Aamir Khan created the Rs 100 crore club with his film Ghajini; but today, almost 15 years after it was released, we have the Rs 1000 crore club. Highly successful films today gross anything between Rs 500-700 crore and the most successful ones even cross Rs 1000 crore. Till date, there are only 7 Indian films that have crossed the Rs 1000 mark. The first two positions are held by Dangal and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Do you know that with the latter, a leading actress became the first in India to deliver a Rs 1000 crore film? Also, it took her more than three decades in the industry to achieve this milestone.

We are talking about Ramya Krishnan, who has predominantly appeared in Tamil and Telugu films, with occasional appearances in Hindi cinema. In the Baahubali films, Ramya Krishnan played the strong headed matriarch queen Shivgami Devi. Her character was very pivotal to the plot of the films and her performance was highly appreciated. Baahubali 2 grossed close to Rs 1,810 crore and she became the first top tier lead actress to achieve this feat.
