But maybe it was not enough for the versatile actor and he wanted to bid adieu to 2019 with a bang. His recently released movie Good Newwz is winning the race against Salman Khan’s Dabangg 3.
Good Newwz is busy in breaking records at the box office and at the same time creating new ones as well. The movie raked in 126 crore in it first week of release, managing to get the 5th spot in the list of highest first-week collections of Bollywood films. It has surpassed the collections of Dabangg 3 and Saaho.
Saaho stars Prabhas, who was widely praised by the Indian film lovers in Baahubali and Baahubali 2, while Dabangg 3 stars superstar Salman Khan in the role of Chulbul Pandey. It is the third instalment of Dabangg franchise.
Film pundits believe that the New Year holiday helped Raj Mehta directorial alot in exceeding the collections and the movie managed to make new record before the year ended.
