Sultan’s run continues, to enter Rs 300 cr club

It’s been three weeks since Salman Khan’s Sultan hit box office and it is still going strong, not just in India but all over the world.The film completed its third week in theatres and despite being leaked online, the film garnered Rs 293.80 crores in India, as tweeted by trade analyst, Taran Adarsh.Sultan is ready to enter the Rs 300 crore club where Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan is already present.‘The pressure, will Sultan touch Rs 400 crore… Will it cross Rs 500 crore, is it mounting? It’s not getting to me. I know Sultan gives me certain standing as a filmmaker. I also know what some great man said about success - that with power comes responsibility,’ Sultan’s director Ali Abbas Zafar said earlier.Salman Khan’s biggest hit till date was Bajrangi Bhaijaan.‘I’ll be expected to deliver an even bigger film after Sultan. I don’t want to think about this. I am just happy that the film has connected with the audience. And when a real life wrestler like Sangram Singh says Salman looks authentic doing the wrestling moves, I feel we have achieved what we set out to do,’ he added.According to him, it takes a star like Salman Khan to get the audience into theatres to watch a film on the life of a wrestler. With the face of Salman Khan, the film Sultan had successfully fulfilled a lot of box office predictions.It became this year’s highest opened till now with Rs 36.54 crore business on the first day of its release.
