Salman Khan’s Sultan has earned Rs 150 million in Pakistan in the first five days of its release. And that’s a new record as far as business in Eid is concerned.
According to a report by PTI, the distributors of Sultan in Pakistan, Geo Films, the Salman Khan-Anushka Sharma-starrer has eclipsed the opening weekend record set by the Pakistani film Jawani Phir Nahi Ani on Eidul Azha last year.
“One advantage Sultan had over previous films, including Bajrangi Bhaijaan, was that it was released over a five-day weekend because of Eid holidays,” said Muhammad Nasir of Geo Films. “And with tickets for the first five days of screening already being sold in advance, Sultan has crossed Rs 150 million by Sunday,” he added.
