During the second teaser release of Ajay Devgn’s upcoming movie Bholaa today in Mumbai, the actor talked about Pathaan’s advance booking. He said, “When Drishyam 2 became a super hit, I used to tell people that we need more such films that get similar responses from the audience. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I pray that whatever film is released, it should be a super duper hit. The whole industry is one. Pathaan is releasing and the advances are humongous. I am happy from my heart and we all should be very very happy.”
The highest advance ever for a Bollywood film was recorded by Pathaan, breaking the previous record held by War, as reported on Monday. The film has sold 4.19 lakh tickets in the major cinema chains. Meanwhile, when a fan asked Shah Rukh Khan about his response to Ajay Devgn’s comment on the film during his ongoing Twitter session #AskSRK, the actor said, “Ajay has been a pillar of support and love to me and my family for years. He is a wonderful actor and a beautiful human being. Strong and silent.”
