# Sanjay Dutt: The Unexpected King


# Sanjay Dutt: The Unexpected King of Bollywood's ₹1000 Crore Club! **Imagine this: Shah Rukh Khan, Prabhas, and Ranveer Singh are box office giants—but one veteran actor has quietly surpassed them all with *three* films crossing the ₹1000 crore mark.** That's right—it's the one and only **Sanjay Dutt**, whose explosive screen presence has just rewritten Bollywood history thanks to the roaring success of *Dhurandhar*.[1][2][3]

The blockbuster espionage thriller *Dhurandhar*, directed by Aditya Dhar and led by Ranveer Singh, has smashed past **₹1200 crore worldwide**—even after over a month in theaters—making it the **second highest-grossing Hindi film ever**, right behind Aamir Khan's *Dangal*.[1][3] This milestone catapults Ranveer into the elite ₹1000 crore club for the first time, but it's **Sanjay Dutt** who steals the spotlight. With *Dhurandhar* joining his earlier smashes—*KGF: Chapter 2* (where he owned the screen as the menacing Adheera) and *Jawan* (a killer cameo)—Dutt now leads as the **Indian actor with the most ₹1000 crore grossers**.[1][3][4] What makes this even more thrilling? Dutt's roles vary wildly: a central antagonist in *KGF: Chapter 2* and *Dhurandhar*, plus that unforgettable post-credit twist in *Jawan*. No matter the size, he commands the frame and boosts the film's epic scale.[1][3] Deepika Padukone matches him with three (*Pathaan*, *Jawan*, *Kalki 2898 AD*), but Dutt edges ahead in the legacy game, outpacing stars like Prabhas (two films), Shah Rukh Khan (two), Yash, Allu Arjun, and more.[3][4] Fans are buzzing—*Dhurandhar* is still packing theaters, with a sequel slated for March 19, 2026. Sanjay Dutt's pull in pan-India spectacles proves he's a timeless **box office dhurandhar** (force to reckon with).[1][2] **What's your take? Is Sanjay Dutt the ultimate ₹1000 crore king, or will someone dethrone him soon?
