Hyderabad: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was on a self-imposed acting break of four years, is now seemingly compensating for his absence from the big screens with back-to-back two releases in a year. After beginning the year with a blockbuster hit in Pathaan, the actor is now gearing up for the release of his Jawan which arrives in theaters on September 7. The makers commenced advance booking in India a week prior to Jawan's release and buzz in the trade hints that King Khan is all set to deliver another gigantic hit with the Atlee directorial.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, over seven lakh tickets are sold for Jawan and the film has minted a remarkable Rs 21.14 crore gross in India. Breaking down the numbers, Jawan has managed to sell 6,75,735 tickets in the Hindi 2D market, with an additional 13,268 tickets sold for IMAX screenings.
Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan compared Jawan to the top 10 films that previously achieved significant advance booking numbers in national multiplexes. While it may not have surpassed the pinnacle set by films like Baahubali 2, Jawan has still made an impressive mark by selling 2,72,732 tickets for its first day which echoes the strong buzz around the film.
