As per the reports, the US box office collection of this Siddharth Anand directorial stands at 10 million USD.

He told Deadline, Ą°All I know is they tried to boycott Pathaan and audiences came out in large numbers and supported it. I think if youĄ¯re going to boycott something or raise your voice against it, there has to be some merit in that. It has to be substantiated with some facts and some reality. What they were trying to do with Pathaan was just ridiculous and the audience has given its verdict.Ąą
Ą°ThereĄ¯s also been a huge amount of support for Shah Rukh who has been a soft target in recent years. ThatĄ¯s why the film has done such big numbers. ThereĄ¯s been such an outpouring of love ¨C they came in wanting to like the film and not to judge it. Shah Rukh never went away, but perhaps some of the films he was doing before were not justifying his stardom.Ąą
Other than Jawan, SRK will also be seen in Dunki. The film is being directed by Rajkumar Hirani and also stars Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani and Jeremy Wheeler.
