Note: Gen 3 ranking is an assumption looking at the fan following of each of those actors who belong to that generation.
Prime time of each generation:
| Gen 1 | 1955 to 1985 |
| Gen 1 to Gen 2 | 1965 to 1990 |
| Gen 2 | 1985 to 2015~ |
| Gen 2 to Gen 3 | 1995 to 2020~ |
| Gen 3 | 2005 to 2035~ (due to entry of heroes into the industry in their early 20s and with following even before entry) |
Note: Some of the actors who belong to one generation might have entered into the film industry when the prior generation was active or might continue for a couple of years into the next generation or might even fall short by a few years in their own generation, but the categorization shown above is the big picture considering the age and fan following of the actors.
Example: Chiranjeevi's entry into politics in 2008 had cut short his career by approx. 10 years. Else, he would have been holding his place until around 2015. But on the other hand, this became a blessing to actors in 'Gen 2 to Gen 3' like Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu, otherwise, they would have faced the same scenario between 2005 and 2015 that Krishna and Shoban Babu had to face between 1975 to 1985 during their peak time, with NTR and ANR as leaders of industry.
