Sanju had easily crossed Rs 200 crore-mark in its first week and then added a little above Rs 90 crore in the second week. Even after a month of its release, Sanju appears to attract the cine-goers, despite release of films like Dhadak, Fanney Khan, Mulk and Karwaan.
The film Sanju is a biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt, played by Ranbir Kapoor. Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Jim Sarbh and Vicky Kaushal are also part of the blockbuster film.
After the success of the film in India, Sanju is looking forward for a release in China. "Many distributors in China have reached out to us. They have watched the film and there is a lot of interest in releasing it in the country," Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios told news agency PTI
