Mumbai: Alia Bhatt got a pleasant pre-wedding gift on Sunday, four days before she ties the knot with Ranbit Kapoor.
SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR, which collected Rs 120 crore in the Telugu circuits alone on the very first day of its release on March 25, has entered the Rs 1,000-crore club globally.
The film, starring Alia, Ram Charan, Jr NTR and Ajay Devgan among others, has been doing tremendous business in the Hindi belt and around the world in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and Middle East.
RRR has thus become only the third Indian movie to have grossed over Rs 1,000 crore in the global box office.
While the Aamir Khan-starrer Dangal sits on top with an earning of Rs 2024 crore, another Rajamouli film Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is in second place.
Sharing a celebratory poster on social media, the makers of RRR wrote: “1000 crore is a dream run for a film from India. We made our best for you, and you in return showered us with your priceless love. Thank you Bheem @tarak9999 fans, Ramaraju @AlwaysRamCharan fans and audience across the world.”
