Amitabh Bachchan or Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan or Hrithik Roshan, MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli... Who is the biggest Indian celebrity? Or is it the serial film actor/producer Akshay Kumar?

Will the Forbes India Celebrity 100 List for 2014 announce a new topper this time? Will someone challenge Shah Rukh Khan's supremacy this year?

Maybe a cricketer will trounce the Bollywood reign at the top slot for Forbes India Celebrity 100 List!

You will find answers to some of these questions on 12th December, when Forbes India publishes its third edition of India’s 100 Most Influential Celebrities—picked from the world of entertainment and sports.

In India, entertainment is usually conflated with Bollywood, and sure enough, our list will reflect this bias towards film entertainment in Hindi and some of the regional languages, with actors, singers, producers, and music directors, among others, adorning the list. In recent years, the small screen is also creating its bunch of stars and throwing up big money for actors and serial makers. You will also find them in our Top 100 Celeb List.

But before we publish our final list of 100 celebs, we are happy to publish our long list from which the final 100 of India’s most Influential Celebrities who make a living from entertainment and sports will be chosen. Take a look and make a bet with yourself on who will make the final cut.

But it’s not just about their money. Not all entertainment professions throw up the same kind of money, and so a critical balancing factor is fame. Our Celebrity 100, much like the Forbes, US, celeb list, counts not only money, but fame as well.

Forbes India has tied up with a whole battery of partners to generate this Celebrity 100 list. Our principal data partners for Celebrity 100 List of 2013 are LexisNexis® , Exceed Entertainment, IOS Sports & Entertainment, Galatta, TAM and GroupM ESP .

At the same time, indiantelevision.comtellychakkar.com, radioandmusic.com and Nielsen BookScan have lent enormous support to this list. To help raise the bar on compliance and rigour in the methodology. 

But you should not feel left out of the process. You can see below the full list of celebrities who are being considered for the final 100, and if you want to suggest additions or deletions, please mail us at feedback.forbesindia@network18online.com before November 30, 2014.

On December 12, 2014, the final list and a copy of Forbes India’s special Celeb edition will be released.
