AFI Power Lists 2010


2010 has been one of the best years in the history of AFI with films like Aal iss well,Paa and Street Riders becoming blockbusters,especially Aal IssWell breaking AFI'S 25 years Record.We have made this power list based on box office collections,Fan following,Performance and Awards.We have covered broadly 5 categories i.e Top 3 Actors,Actresses,Directors,Supporting cast and technicians.so with out further delay.here goes the list

Top 3 Leading Actors-HEROES

1. YOUTH ICON Abhishek Venkteshwar
Abhishek is the biggest superstar of AFI.He has redefined the entire process of film making in AFI.He is considered the most powerful personality in AFI,because his home production Blueberry productions enjoy almost 47% of the  market share and he has given 3 record breaking and trend setting films in AFI(Twist of fate,Paa and Aal iss well).He has acted in 13 films till date and only 2 of them have failed in the box-office(Taj and TCNTC).This is a dream for any of the leading men.Abhishek is also an excellent actor and he has won several awards including Spring,Amateru Oscars,Accolades,Sophias,Josephs,etc.He is a perfect combination of a Superstar and an Actor.Abhishek is also literally controlling the entire AFI.Abhishek also enjoys a very large fan following especially after Aal iss well became a blockbuster.Abhishek is the undisputed king of AFI,other heroes can not near his star image,because Abhishek is a complete package of everything.Abhishek is surprisingly very flexible with his salary and has done some films even free of cost because of the story line.Abhishek is very very choosy in selecting films and he picks only films with substantial roles and does not follow the normal commercial  hero's trend.He is also very stylish and the most classy amateur actor.Abhishek undoubtedly is the Main pillar of AFI,without which AFI will collapse.

2.SUPER HERO Shashank Sharma 

Shashank is one of the most sought after heroes in AFI.He enjoys quiet a huge fan following especially mass films.Shashank normally does mass films with lots of action.This has made fans go crazy on him and established him as a superstar in AFI.Shashank also has very high success rate as all his films have been commercial films and are a sure bet.Shashank has great chemistry with Tasneem and this pair has also delivered a blockbuster.Shashank started his career in the theatre and he is a very good performer,but unfortunately he has got stuck with this commercial mass image,which he can not break.Shashank is the highest paid hero of the AFI.He never compromises his salary as all his films are sure hits.He is also a hero with the minimum guarantee tag.Shashank is a good actor,but the superstar image he has is preventing him from experimenting with roles unlike Abhishek who experiments with films but yet is a superstar.But never the less every struggling actor in AFI either want to follow Abhishek or Shashank as they are the only bankable hero's in AFI.

3.SHINING STAR Puneeth Kumar
Puneeth is a critically acclaimed actor.He hails from the theatre and is one of the finest actors in AFI.Puneet struggled a lot and took him almost 4 years to reach this status.He mostly selects only art films as box-office has always eluded him.Puneet had high hopes on Taj,but the film crashed at the box-office,however Puneet was highly appreciated in the film.The critics even said that he over shadowed the Youth Icon Abhishek himself in the film.This speaks volumes about Puneets performance.Puneet is also considered to be the most handsome hero in the AFI.

Top 3 Leading Ladies-HEROINES

1.Tasneem
Tasneem is the Queen of AFI.She is the only heroine in the history of world cinema to have 100% success rate.All her film have been declared as blockbusters.She has very a huge fan following because of her presence in malayalam and kannada films.She is also considered as the most powerful heroine in AFI.She started her career in Shashank's Death Hunt in 2008,Ever since then,she has never looked back,all her films have done very well establishing her as a superstar.She pairs only with superstars like Abhishek or Shashank in AFI & Mamooty or Prithviraj in Malayalam films.She is very choosy with AFI Films and selects only roles with great potential.Tasneem's onscreen chemistry with Abhishek is mindblowing and therefore this pair have appeared in 4 Blockbuster films(death hunt,trap,breakup sidd and Aal iss well).Tasneem is undoubtedly the highest paid female star of all time in AFI.

2.Richa Jain
Richa is the current heart -throb in AFI.She has a huge fan following because of her glamour quotient and dancing skills.Richa is a complete mass heroine.She selects mostly hero-oriented films and just appears in songs and that has worked for this  marwadi beauty.She has been able to reach the masses.Richa was just an ordinary new comer last year ,but today she is one of the Top heroines in AFI,this is only because of the stupendous success of Paa,that has catapulted Richa to the top slot.Richa was appreciated a lot for her sutle performance in paa and this movie also earned her a number of awards.Richa is current flavour in AFI

3.Ruchika Salecha

Ruchika is perhaps the most senior heroine in the list.This girl is undoubtedly the finest actress in the list,but unfortunately Ruchika could not reach the heights of Tasneem,Rithika or Richa because she is very conservative and avoids any kind of skin show.Ruchika is very talented and won several awards.She is also a very critically acclaimed actress,but somehow box office success has eluded this powerful performer.Ruchika is currently very choosy and is only doing one or two films in a year and they are all non commercial,but yet she has managed to stay on this list because of her raw talent.

Top 3 Directors

                                 1.Abhishek Venkteshwar
Abhishek is the no 1 Director in AFI,He has almost 90% success track.His notable films include Aal iss well,Twist of fate and Crossword.All most all big banners and big stars have worked with Abhishek.He has won several awards for his film Aal iss well.It also holds the record of being the most expensive amateur film till date and the success of the film has made the entire kannada industry turn back and look at the AFI.Abhishek is undoubtedly the biggest and the most strongest pillar of the AFI.

2.Esdewan Gopal
Esdewan Gopal may be only one film old,but he has created wonders in that film.Paa was a huge blockbuster in 2010.It regained Abhishek's stardom and shot up Richa's popularity.It fetched Abhishek 7 awards for his performance,It gave Richa her first commercial success and took her from directly to the top slot.All this would have been impossible with out Esdewan.He is today considered the most sought after director in the AFI,all the superstars are dying to work with him.Unfortunately Esdewan is in UK and is not directing any more films.It can be called a great loss for the Industry.

3.Anjali Pillai
Anjali is one of the most critically acclaimed directors,her films may not be critically sucessful,but they are very meaningful,she is called the ultimate creator of Art films.She is very choosy and accepts only very very fine films

Diya is the numeruno ,when it comes to the supporting crew,she has the ability to portray any character given to her with alot of ease.She was always noted for her powerful performances.Diya's performance in Twist of fate was very praiseworthy,after which she did not appear in any film for almost a year,but when she came back,she came with a bang through the film Breakup sidd,though the film was average ,Diya s performance was the higlight,she won several awards for that film and even overshadowed the leading lady Tasneem in that particular film.

2Akshaya
Akshaya is avery talented actress.Though she got introduced as a heroine,she started doing more character oriented roles.She wons the hearts of everybody for her beautiful suttle performance in manipaaya.Akshaya is the 1st choice for all big banners,when it comes to the supporting cast.
