Meanwhile, Sanju has already earned Rs 500 crore worldwide.
Sanju, a biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt, released in June. Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Sanjay Dutt, was immensely praised for his performance.
"Ranbir Kapoor, slipping into the skin of the troubled Bollywood star, pulls out the stops in astonishingly effective ways, subsuming his own personality completely into that of the protagonist. The director is on the top of his game and the actor frequently soars to dizzying heights. It sets a new benchmark for Bollywood biopics. It will be a hard act to follow," film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote in his review for NDTV.
Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, also stars Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Vicky Kaushal, Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Jim Sarbh and Karishma Tanna.
