Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's latest release Pathaan created history on its 27th day of release. The makers on Tuesday shared that the film helmed by Siddharth Anand is the first Hindi movie to cross the worldwide gross of Rs 1000. Not only that, Pathaan also enjoys the feat of being the highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide in the history of Hindi cinema.

According to YRF, on its fourth Monday Pathaan raised Rs 1.25 crore nett in India (Hindi - Rs 1.20 crore, dubbed versions - Rs 0.05 crore). After 27 days, Pathaan's total worldwide gross is an incredible Rs 1000 crore. The film raked in Rs 623 crore gross in the domestic market while overseas business stands at Rs 377 crore.

One of the reasons for Pathaan doing the kind of business that it's doing is the bottled-up excitement among fans to see the superstar on screen after a long gap of four years. SRK made a mighty comeback with Pathaan and returned right back at the top where he belongs. The actor is likely to reunite with the Pathaan team for a sequel which he said will be bigger and better than the original film.
