Hyderabad: The highly anticipated mythological sci-fi film, Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, finally hit theatres on June 27 amid much fanfare. The Nag Ashwin directorial received widespread critical acclaim and shattered Day 1 box office records in multiple territories.
Kalki 2898 AD's impressive opening day collection of Rs 191.5 crore propelled it into the elite club of the top three highest-grossing Indian films of all time, alongside RRR and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Moreover, the film became the highest-grossing Indian movie on its opening day in North America, raking in over $5 million.
However, Swapna Dutt, one of the producers of Kalki 2898 AD, seemed unfazed by the film's remarkable box office performance. In a post on X on Friday, she expressed her thoughts, saying, "It's very amazing that people are calling or asking, Did we cross records? It's hilarious because guys who create or created those records never make films for the records. We make for the audience. We make for the love of cinema. We did the same."
