100-crore club is talking points and now Bollywood actors Kareena Kapoor (3 idiots, bodyguard, RA.One, the Golmaal 3), Sonakshi Sinha (Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore), Asin (Ghajini, ready, Housefull 2) and Priyanka Chopra (Agneepath, Don 2) are in power it. Surprisingly, Katrina Kaif, one of the highest paid and most sought after actors, is missing from this club. But trade analysts and directors say the 100-crore club or not, Kat is still the most popular and bankable star.

One must agree that Chikni Chameli was the highlight of Agneepath. Moreover, in 2012-2013, Kat will be seen with all three Khans symbol Ek Tha Tiger with Salman, SRK at Yash Chopra in Dhoom 3 by Amir and). "Kat worker and is very dedicated to her roles. Despite coming from the UK, she has made a mark in the industry. It has some good films coming and who can forget that ... was Chikni point Agneepath high? " says a trade analyst.

Directed by Kunal Kohli agrees. "I want to work with. I know him personally and it is difficult to take the position that it has achieved. It is a brilliant actor," he says. Actor-producer Viveck Vaswani recently tweeted: "RaiBachchan Aishwarya, Katrina Kaif's surprisingly not in any movie # 100crclub". "But Kat does not need to worry about not being part of the club's 100 crore film. Does not matter if it was not there or in movies like Golmaal Dabangg. It will hit again soon," says Kunal.

Director Sujoy Ghosh says that next year can not get any bigger for Kat, what with Ek Tha Tiger, the Dhoom 3 and Yash Chopra's next in her kitty. "What Vidya found her hits (Dirty Picture, Kahaani), Kat would find her films next year. It is another girl crore for the first" says Sujoy.

While Kareena and Priyanka are established stars, Asin and Sonakshi seems to be in the right place at the right time. "It depends on the type of films to choose actors. Asin is a big name in the south, but it still has to make a mark in the Hindi film industry. Ghajini is known more for its Aamir Khan," says a film trade analyst.

Directed by Shirish against stresses that the success of a 100 crore film depends not only actors. "This is a team effort, but players only benefit when he does well. Katrina is a very talented actor and it is still great," he says. Shirish adds, "100 crore has nothing to do with the ability of an actor. Flicks occasional big budget can not decide her caliber as an actor. It is good that it has not been a part of them."

Asin says that she does not get its involvement in the 100-crore club very seriously. "Everyone is taking the long way too seriously. 100-crore club is something very new in Bollywood and is much hyped. I'm glad my film made it to the club, but that is not my primary focus as an actor. I will focus more on writing and my role in a movie. For me, working with good producers and directors is quite good. I do not want to be part of the numbers game, "she says.
