Made on a budget of just 15 crore, the movie is just a day short marking its monthly release and has not shown much signs of dying down.
'The Kashmir Files' for its highly impressive earnings however, is facing tough competition from SS Rajamouli's Telugu mega-budget grand spectacle 'RRR' which has with its stellar star cast, high octane stunts, and special effects managed to cross the Rs 1000 crore mark at the worldwide box office in a just few weeks of its release.
RRR is the third Indian film to enter the Rs 1000 crore club. Other Indian movies that are already a part of the prestigious club include 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' and Aamir Khan's sports drama 'Dangal'.
Marking other projects, Vivek Agnihotri shared a video and made an official announcement. Sharing the announcement he also wished Abhishek Agarwal a happy birthday and wrote, "A very happy birthday to Tiger Producer @abhishekofficl Gives me great pleasure to announce a new collaboration between @AAArtsOfficial & @i_ambuddha. Love. Always.”
Abhishek Agarwal, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, and Pallavi Joshi will produce the two movies, which will be under 'The Kashmir Files' trilogy, with Tej Narayan Agarwal set to present them. (UNI)
