Here's the updated box office report card of AndhaDhun:
Speaking about the film's success in China, Ayushmann told news agency IANS: "It is a humbling moment for me and the entire team of AndhaDhun that after becoming a blockbuster in India, the film is also a blockbuster in China. Sriram Raghavan is a visionary director and I'm thrilled to see the love his film has been getting. He deserves all the success and more."
"For me, personally, AndhaDhun doing Rs 100 crore in China is an incredible moment of pride. I'm delighted that as an artiste, I have contributed to Indian cinema making it's mark globally," Ayushmann added.
AndhaDhun, a quintessential Sriram Raghavan thriller, is a story of a pianist pretending to be visually-impaired and how his life turns upside down after he 'witnesses' a murder. Last year, AndhaDhun also beat top earning films of 2018 - Sanju, PadMan and Raazi - to become IMDb's Top Indian Movie of the year.
