With Pan-India films booming, the debate over the top hero is intense. Ormax Media’s February list considers image, brand value, and fan following.

Prabhas is Number 1
Prabhas has once again secured the number one position, just like always. He is racing ahead in the top spot, proving he has no competition. In fact, Prabhas has been ruling the number one position for a long time now. After entertaining audiences with 'The Raja Saab' this year, he is now working on 'Fauji' and 'Spirit'.

Vijay at Number 2 and Here's Why
Kollywood star Thalapathy Vijay is at number two on this list. Like Prabhas, he is also holding his position firmly. He is speeding ahead with his unbeatable star image and popularity. We all know his movie 'Jana Nayakudu' was shelved. At the same time, Vijay is making headlines due to his alleged affair with Trisha and his wife Sangeetha reportedly going to court for a divorce. He is also in the news for his political moves.

Icon Star at Third Place
Last month, Allu Arjun was in third place, and he has held onto the same spot this time too. Bunny is now working on 'AA 22' with director Atlee, and there's a lot of talk about this movie. Meanwhile, the discussion around his '42 rules' for his following recently caused a huge stir. Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan is at number four, the same position he held last month.

Ram Charan Shocks Mahesh Babu
There's been a surprising change for the fifth spot. Ram Charan gave a huge shock to Mahesh Babu by jumping into fifth place. His leap from seventh to fifth position is surprising everyone. His movie 'Peddi' is about to be released, and the promotions are in full swing. We can say this is why Charan's buzz has increased.

Mahesh Babu Slips to Sixth Place

Mahesh Babu has slipped to the sixth position. Last month, he was at number five. As we know, he is currently acting in the movie 'Varanasi'. There hasn't been much buzz around this film lately, which is why he dropped one spot. Kollywood star Ajith is in seventh place, having dropped from sixth.

NTR at Eighth Position
NTR has secured the eighth position. There was a good amount of discussion about him, especially with updates on his movie 'Dragon'. He also made public appearances, but it seems they didn't have a major impact on his ranking. He remains at number 8. Bollywood star Salman Khan is at number 9, the same as last month.

Pawan Kalyan in the Top 10 List
It's a big deal that Pawan Kalyan has stormed back into Ormax Media's top 10 list. He had entered the list during his movie 'OG' and stayed for a couple of months before dropping off. Now, his return is quite special. Pawan secured the tenth spot in February, giving a jolt to Bollywood heroes. Last month, Akshay Kumar held this spot, but he is missing from the list this time. Pawan Kalyan's film 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' just released on Thursday for Ugadi. It's getting a mixed response but is still doing well with collections.
