"Mass Hero" is a popular term in India, especially down south, which implies an actor who has the versatility to sing, dance, romance, fight, laugh, cry, make the audience laugh and cry, apart from great acting skills. And because of this "mass" appeal, they are idolised by hordes of fans and loved by the media.
I just want to know, whether or not "Mass Hero" is an already acceptable term in the West? If not, what is the equivalent term for "Mass Hero" in American and European countries?
Update: I'd like to clarify that this expression is limited to the scope of the cinematic world in my country and not real-life heroes.

The term "mass hero" in America and Britain isn't something people say or would readily understand to mean what you say it means.
