Meanwhile, the Greek god of Bollywood is proud that his latest film has shattered the records of his last film "Krrish 3" on day one itself. "Bang Bang" broke the opening day record of "Krrish 3" on Thursday.
"That is so cool. Opening higher than a franchise film like Krrish 3 and beating my own record is one way to realise my own growth and strength. But after that, it's not about me, I'm just glad I've been able to entertain my audience," the actor said in a statement.
Roshan also praised the team of "Bang Bang" especially director Anand for the hard work.
"And the entire credit for this humongous success goes to the whole starcast, the entire crew and especially to the director Sid Anand. I stand here in gratitude," he added.
