Deepika Padukone has four movies – Race 2, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela, Bajirao Mastani & Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani in 100 crore club and three movies – Happy New Year, Chennai Express & now Padmaavat in 200 crore club.
After releasing on January 25, the period drama had marched past the 100 crore figure in its opening weekend.
Starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, the film is based on 16th century poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi’s poem Padmavat. It was caught in a row after protests from Shri Rajput Karni Sena which contended that it distorts historical facts and dents the pride of the Rajput community.
Padmaavat still has not seen light of the day in many states. It’s been said it’ll finally get a release in Indore from today. Akshay Kumar’s Padman, which was supposed to clash with Padmaavat is releasing tomorrow. It surely is taking a huge chunk of screens from the reigning king & will try to put some brake in its lifetime collection.
