Suriya grosses 520 crore+ in 2026!
After a decade, Suriya tasted his first success with Karuppu. Backed by favorable word-of-mouth, it grossed 315 crore globally. Two months later, his second release of the year, Vishwanath And Sons, also raked in good numbers. It amassed 212.23 crore globally. Overall, the actor’s cumulative gross stands at a solid 527.23 crore.
Thalapathy Vijay holds the record for the highest collection in a year
For those who don’t know, Thalapathy Vijay is currently Kollywood’s highest-grossing star (as main lead) in a single year. He witnessed his peak in 2023 with Varisu and Leo. His Varisu, although an underperformer, grossed 299.2 crore worldwide. It was followed by Leo, which minted blockbuster numbers globally, raking in 606.43 crore gross. Overall, his gross total in 2023 stood at 905.63 crore, making him the highest-grossing Kollywood star in a single year by beating Rajinikanth (846.95 crore).

Can Suriya beat Thalapathy Vijay’s 2023 collection?
Already in 2026, Suriya is enjoying a cumulative collection of 527.23 crore gross. Before the year ends, he has one more release with Scene. The buzz is already strong for Scene, and if the content clicks with the audience, it has the potential to score big. So, with this upcoming film, the actor has a chance to beat Thalapathy Vijay.
If a comparison is made between both stars, Suriya is lagging by 378.4 crore. So, to become Kollywood’s highest-grossing star in a single year, Scene must earn 378.41 crore gross worldwide, which is very difficult but not impossible. Yes, the number is very big, but we have already seen how comfortably the actor delivered a 300-crore grosser with Karuppu. If everything falls in place, he can once again surprise us with Scene.
