Videos of fans celebrating the release of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan have been making the rounds on social media.
The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer has been pitted against his previous release, Pathaan, which also proved to be a blockbuster hit with an worldwide collection of over Rs 1,000 crore. The film saw a grand opening and amassed Rs 57 crore in the box office on Day 1.
Jawan’s opening day collection is expected to surpass Pathaan’s, and is estimated to be around Rs 75 crore.
PVR-INOX Executive Director Sanjeev Bijli said that they had sold 25 per cent of the tickets for Thursday across all its screens. "Out of the 10 lakh capacity on opening day, we've sold about 25 per cent of the tickets, which is like 2.5 lakh tickets sold for Thursday across PVR INOX (screens). It is a very big number and early estimates suggest that it can be bigger than 'Pathaan'," he said.
The action-packed Jawan also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Sanjay Dutt and Deepika Padukone. Jawan has been directed by Atlee, and produced by Gauri Khan. It has been released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
