Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava is roaring at the box office, collecting around ₹65 crore net in just two days. The film is also performing exceptionally well overseas, with weekend collections expected to cross $3 million.
This marks Bollywood’s biggest success in recent years, as it’s led by a relatively new actor and isn’t part of any established franchise.

The film’s success has injected much-needed positivity into the industry, which has been struggling to create new bankable stars.
For the past 25 years, only Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor have emerged as genuine stars. Now, Vicky Kaushal could be the third, provided he sustains this momentum in his upcoming films.

Bollywood’s inability to create male stars has been a major drawback, and Vicky’s rise could be a game-changer.
Next, he will be seen in Love and War alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Given his current form, he might even overshadow Ranbir in the film.

Following that, he has Mahavatar, an action-epic mythological film where he plays Chiranjeevi Parashurama. Directed by Amar Kaushik, it is set for a Christmas 2026 release.
If Mahavatar clicks, Vicky Kaushal could cement his place among the industry’s biggest stars, standing alongside Hrithik, Ranbir, and the Khans.
