Prabhas has once again cemented his position as one of India’s biggest superstars by securing the number one spot in Ormax Media’s “Stars India Loves” rankings for June 2026. The actor edged past Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, who secured the second position, while Telugu superstar Allu Arjun rounded out the top three, reaffirming Prabhas’ pan-Indian appeal across audiences and languages.
Compiled by Ormax Media, one of India’s leading audience research firms, the monthly Stars India Loves rankings measure the popularity and public affection enjoyed by film stars across the country. Unlike award ceremonies or box office charts, the list is not based on commercial collections, critical acclaim, or acting achievements. Instead, it reflects audience perception, fan engagement, and overall popularity across different regions and film industries.
The Top 10 Most Loved Male Film Stars in the June 2026 rankings are:
- Prabhas
- Shah Rukh Khan
- Allu Arjun
- NTR
- Salman Khan
- Ram Charan
- Ajith Kumar
- Akshay Kumar
- Yash
- Vijay Sethupathi
Prabhas’ continued dominance comes at a particularly exciting phase of his career. The actor is currently juggling multiple high-profile projects that have generated significant anticipation among fans. One of the most awaited is Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who recently confirmed that nearly 40% of the film has already been completed. The action drama is expected to present Prabhas in a completely new avatar, with expectations running high following Vanga’s previous blockbuster successes.
Adding to the momentum is the growing anticipation surrounding Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam, which is expected to continue the expansive world established in the first installment. Fans are also eagerly awaiting further updates on Kalki 2898 AD, which recently received recognition at the National Film Awards, further cementing its place as one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious science-fiction spectacles.
Prabhas’ remarkable popularity is also a reflection of his successful transition from being a Telugu superstar to becoming a genuine pan-Indian phenomenon. Ever since the Baahubali franchise introduced him to audiences worldwide, the actor has consistently attracted massive openings across multiple languages, with his films simultaneously releasing in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The latest Ormax rankings also highlight the increasingly pan-Indian nature of Indian cinema itself. The list features stars representing Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam industries, illustrating how language barriers continue to blur as audiences embrace compelling stories and larger-than-life entertainers from across the country.
While Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun, Jr. NTR, Ram Charan, Yash, and Vijay Sethupathi continue to command enormous fan followings, Prabhas’ ability to consistently remain at the top reflects not only his loyal fanbase but also the anticipation surrounding his upcoming slate of films.
With Spirit, Salaar 2, and future installments in the Kalki universe on the horizon, Prabhas appears poised to strengthen his position as one of the defining stars of contemporary Indian cinema. If audience sentiment reflected in Ormax’s rankings is any indication, the actor’s reign as one of the country’s most beloved film stars shows little sign of slowing down.
