Salman is set to break his own records with "Kick." Sajid Nadiadwala's directorial film will become Salman's highest grosser film beating "Ek Tha Tiger" record.
"Kick" has already become Salman's seventh film to cross the ₹100 crore mark in a row. Soon, it will become his first film to cross the ₹200 crore mark in India.
Not only trade analysts, but also Salman is confident that his film will cross the ₹200 crore mark. In fact, he said that his film will surpass ₹500 crore.
"I don't know about the business. Why talk about ₹200 crore, talk about ₹300 or ₹400 crore or ₹500 crore. We would be more than happy if the film does more business," Salman told Press Trust of India.
Whether or not "Kick" will touch ₹500 crore mark, it will definitely cross the double century mark.
