Bollywood celebrities are one of the most-widely searched names across the globe. Every fan, admirer or Bollywood buff wants to know everything and anything about the stars. For years, the Khans as well as Sunny Leone has been ruling the search volumes. But who is the top Bollywood celebrity with the highest search volume in 2018? Well, you will be surprised to know what we got our hands on! We saw several trends for 2018.

In fact, Search Volumes around celebrities seemed to be driven by their personal lives as far as names like Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are concerned, driving the numbers to dizzying heights. Also, while Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have moved down in the bottom-half of the Top 10 celebrities in terms of endorsement monies, when it comes to Social Conversations both of them are way above the rest.

This is as per the Showbiz 2.0 report by Group M’s ESP Properties, which is the entertainment and sports division of the company. For those of you who don’t know, the report is a consolidated Indian Entertainment Marketing Report. It covers the Entertainment Industry in four parts – Film Marketing, Brands & Films, Celebrity Endorsements and Licensing in India. In the report, we found out several trends.

According to the report, Salman Khan is the leader with Search Volume of more than 19.85 million. Deepika Padukone comes in at number Two with a search volume of 15.22 million. Alia Bhatt completes the top Three with a search volume of 10.59 million

Contrary to rumours, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah is panning out as planned and here’s what our source said....

After seeing Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh back to back in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s films, we all were waiting for the ace director to opt for a fresh casting. And this year SLB did so when he announced the cast for his next Inshallah, we all were glad to see Salman Khan (who is working with Bhansali after 20 years) paired opposite Alia Bhatt. But excitement aside, we were waiting for an update on this film and a tabloid carried one today.

As per the report, it was said that Salman wanted to avert Inshallah’s clash with Rohit Shetty’s Akshay Kumar starrer Sooryavanshi. For the same, he called up Kumar and even assured to not have his film release on Eid 2020 as planned. But we have a different story, yes; a source from Inshallah‘s production team exclusively told us that this report is “untrue”. Now with this clarification, we are happy that next year’s Eid will have a double treat for fans.

We had told you earlier that both these films will release on Eid 2020, considering how every Eid belongs to Bollywood’s Bhaijan we will have to see if Khiladi Kumar and Katrina Kaif’s film gives SLB’s Insallah a tough fight at the box office. Stay tuned to CineBlitz for more such interesting updates from Bollywood.
