Producer, actor and director Aamir Khan has proved himself to be among the biggest brand in India and even in the world considering that total initial investments has reaped huge benefits with over $60Bn over the last ten years since his home production was created. He is seen by his peers as one of the most successful showman in the indian film industry and it will not be an outrage to say that he even beat the likes of the great Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar. His current competitors namely Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are very far behind him both in terms of revenue generation and popularity. It can rightly be said that currently Aamir Khan is in the number 1-10 spot in the film industry with all his colleagues being relegated to the 11th and so on spot!!
